Where is, and how many trains per day on this nicely groomed track?

---

Looks like the southeast leg of the wye at West Quincy, Missouri. Ex-CB&Q trackage at the west end of the Mississippi River bridge to Quincy, Illinois. If so, can only guess the number of daily trains, as it's a location I only infrequently visit, and then only briefly. Guess: 25 trains per day, mostly for the Brookfield Sub to Kansas City, which diverges further to the south.

Try one state over and about 24 less trains per day. This is a slow starter, so I'll at least reveal that the catch is this is a very low-traffic line. It is also nearly the end of the line.

Took me awhile to figure out. This is on the CN's EJE line to Waukegean looking north at 22nd Street/Martin Luther King Jr Drive in North Chicago, IL.

Correct! I was surprised at how good the track looks, considering it only gets a train with a few cars a few times a week. But I guess at one point coal may have moved on it.
