"ODOT" implies Ohio, but it might still help to let us known the full location when making inquiries.
I do recall an old issue of Rail Classics with an article by John Uckley on the "Old Road" in southeastern Michigan, but I can't remember which exactly it was in. Turning up a copy of that might help.
Downers Grove comes to mind. There's some shopping downtown and good eats are nearby, too.
"Indianapolis" and "hot spots" are mutually exclusive terms. The busiest line through town is the CSX Indianapolis Line and that only sees 20-25 in a day, mostly at night. Otherwise it's hit-and-miss with the various branches and secondary lines around town.
I'll be there, Amtrak tickets are booked and conference registration is done. I don't see Amtrak making any big announcements at this event, surely it will just serve to reinforce the status quo, but it is a good excuse to go to Chicago for a weekend!
Tri-Met has made mention of it, too:

In boxes from Logan organized by railroad and then by division/subdivision if applicable. Shortlines are filed together in boxes alphabetically. I keep purchased photos grouped by photographer if a collection (mostly) fills its own box, otherwise they're filed in a miscellaneous "Purchased"...

What about the sidings on the Chicago to St. Louis corridor? I know they're really slow; are they also hand-throw as well?
Tracks are being laid this week. Switches to the main tracks are going in now.
How about with scrap dealers or smaller railroads locally?
It's about half done. The site is graded and new tracks are already being laid.
