Photo Comment: Days Inn is the taller building seen near the upper left of the photo.  The railroad runs along US-30, some boxcars are seen near the west end of a siding.  The trees seen in front of the hotel prevent a good railroad view from the hotel.

Photo Comment: Looking northwest in the aerial photo, the Hilton Garden Inn is seen circled in red.  The railroad can be seen with a string of boxcars parked on a siding.  The main track is on the south side meaning passing trains will not be blocked by cars parked on the siding.
