My favorite place:
Chili Junction at CP 382 on CSX's Main (former Conrail Chicago Line). Over 40 trains daily and you mix in Amtrak, too. The double track main has a turnout which leads to the West Shore line which is a single track bypass of Rochester NY. It's also handy if you have a scanner as you have a detector 4 miles east and a detector 5 miles west....you'll always know when a train comes and you have time to set up your shot if you're a photographer!
