You know I thought bout this very same thing riding Metra Electric inbound from 212th ST. The CN had roughly the equivalent of a five track right of way and they put one of two mainline tracks right adjacent to the NB Metra. All I could think of was if there ever was a shifted load, it was taking out the Metra train unless it took out catenary supports instead. But the Metra in that territory is only two tracks with center mast catenary supports.David |
