Certain Milwaukee District/North Central PM rush-hour trains operate westbound on Track 3. When stopping at Western Ave. on Track 1, I can see a sign on the station building listing the trains that do but it's too small/far away for me to read from the train. Anyone seen the sign and/or know which trains are supposed to use Track 3?
From personal experience, the following use Track 3 (time in parentheses is CUS departure time):
MD-W 2231 (1650) (no stop at Western)
NCS 111 (1658) (no stop at Western)
MD-W 2235 (1705)
MD-W 2239 (1723)9
I've also been on 2227 (1620) which uses Track 1. Riding on NCS 111 last night (a one-time need to get to Wheeling), it looked like 2233 (1655) used Track 1 unless that was a delayed MD-N train I saw.
It would be nice if Metra would note it in the timetable the way they do for UP=NW trains on the center track.
