Excursion 9: Traveling trains

Everyone thinks they hate these kind of problems, but give this one a try.
It's not complicated, but you just might miss something....

Trains leave every hour, on the hour from Chicago to Peoria, and from Peoria to Chicago.

It is a two hour route.

They travel on parallel tracks.

Your train leaves Chicago at noon.

How many trains will you see out your window, going in the opposite direction, during your trip to Peoria?

Have a lovely trip....
