Wow, that looks like one busy junction! I wonder if someone's done a video of trains at this location? It will be interesting to see what this looks like in ten or twenty years with the addition of high-speed rail in the USA

Now what I said about bridges in a previous photograph is what makes this picture (plus the diamonds in the foreground) killer!
