There is a rest area on both sides of the Interstate Highway at this point. You get a closer view of the action from the south side but a more encompassing overview of a greater area from the north side. Binoculars are also handy for viewing from the north side.
In addition to trains passing about three times per hour you have all the amenities of an Interstate Highway Rest Area. Restrooms, picnic tables in shelters, drinking fountain, lots of shade trees for hotter weather, and plenty of parking. A great place to take a breather from your highway travel and see plenty of railroading action.
