With 6 Amtrak trains each direction everyday and numerous miles-long freights at every hour of the day and night, this is a great place for watching the trains pass by. There is plenty of on-street and off-street parking in the immediate vicinity, a nice strip park just a half-block east, the public library and historical museum (open only Wednesdays 10:00AM to 2:00PM) next to the grade crossing, and all the amenities that are usually found in the downtown area of a small community. This provides plenty of opportunities for additional activities during the relatively short waits between trains.
