I'm glad Highland Park raised this issue and hope the railroad continues to think about preserving the trees along the Metra route. Union Pacific covers a lot of lightly populated areas in in the freight part of its business, which may be one reason they usually don't think about preserving nearby trees. I enjoyed riding the UP line to the Lake Bluff station for years. I was generally very happy with the UP, but one time they did a horrendous job of cutting down trees near the Lake Bluff station. It looked like a disaster scene.
