Photo Comments: Aerial view shows the motel (left side of photo) to the triple track main.  Left photo: With my back facing the railroad, the La Quinta Inn can be seen behind this residential home.  This was a good place to take pictures of passing trains.  Amtrak may have installed a fence here along Onset Street.
