I have some interest in photographing the Metra Electic/SS and parallel CN from some of the stations along the Metra Electric. Is that a realistic option? How are fans at those stations currently treated? I would hope the platforms are accessible without tickets?
Are there any stations better or worse that others? I have a lot of interest in the freight operations so I will repeat the question for stations with good or bad views of the CN. Of particular interest is trying to avoid clutter between the two lines.
I have seen a number of photos taken at Kennsington where the SS diverges? That is on the list. Do these stations tend to fill up parking wise on weekday?
Specific to Metra: I assume each train takes a ticket? Are there day passes that would allow one to ride station to station and hope off shoot and move on?
Specific to CN are there any certain location that have more or less traffic than other locations? And would anyone have any suggestions for shooting the CN in the general area even if it is outside of the Electric zone?
Thanks
