One brief trail segment parallels railroad tracks, and we saw an Amtrak train and a freight train as we biked past. The engineer saw me taking his photo and waved and even gave me a double-toot.

Great to see so many people using their forest preserve areas, but I find biking during the week is far more solitary and relaxing, and you don't encounter any idiot bikers who speed past you without announcing their approach from behind -- one of whom nearly sideswiped me as he misjudged the turn we were on as he (unannounced) sped past.
