Momence, Illinois is a nice town where two sets of tracks, but three railroads meet.

Area Safety
Overall, Momence is a nice town with little danger. The northwest portion of the junction is a nice, wide-open area to get some photos, but it is railroad property. Every now and then, the joint line seems to be a "feast or famine affair", having busy and quiet periods.

Good Viewing Spots
On an island in the middle of the Kankakee River, there is a park giving a great view of the bridges of the UP/CSX tracks over the river.
There are all sorts of railroad crossings around for those who like filming at railroad crossings, like myself.
