ICG 1309 at Kensington Interlocking Plant |
Description: |
1309 is taking its transfer train from the farthest to the closest non-electrified track. There are only two electrified tracks coming through the station (the photographer is on the far south end of the platform) making it a bottlenck. The track heading diagonally through the plant (under the first boxcars) is the only track to and from the South Shore's main tracks. So all CSS&SB and IC (Metra) electric trains must go through here and think of the days when many steam/diesel powered intercity trains ran on the non-electrified tracks. Note, in 2008 a rearangement of the tracks is underway to add the much needed capacity to allow additional South Shore and Metra trains. Also note the diamond near the lower right corner of the picture has movable points. |

Looking South Into Washington Union Station |
Description: |
Looking south before they destroyed the interior for the Bicentennial and put a parking garage and highway bridge over the tracks. This shows how amazingly big the rotunda is. That's a GG1 in the terminal and a Washington Terminal RS1 switching. Note the interlocking tower mid-frame. Most/all of the station tracks to the left of it funnel into the two-track tunnel under First St. behind the Capitol which leads across the Potomac to ex-Potomac Yards and the ex-RF&P and ex-Southern. This tunnel is why no dome cars or Auto Train can go north of here. Well there is a freight bypass but it misses Union Station. |

A Yellow GM E-unit and a Red Ford Mustang |
Description: |
This was train #111 westbound on the Milwaukee Road at Lanark, IL, 18 miles short of the Mississippi River on August 5, 1964. At Omaha, Neb., it would enter UP tracks. It was the combined City of Denver and City of Portland. At Omaha the City of Portland cars would be cut off and continue to Portland. Note the order boards in front of the station. Both high order boards were up meaning the agent had no orders for #111 or the next eastbound train. The agent was on the platform to inspect the train, as he should have been, and was waving to the fireman. Most probably that was his red Mustang next to the station. |

CNW Tr. #2, the eastbound Kate Shelly 400 paused at DeKalb, Illinois on Dec. 28, 1964. It was not 7:00 a.m. yet. She left Clinton, Iowa well over an hour before where she slept the night and had about an hour to go to arrive in Chicago. She had a diner lounge car and coaches and certainly didn't not run the 400 miles her name implies. Her run was 138 miles. E-unit 5015A and its steam generator seemed to be working fine on this cold college break morning. |

Title: |
Two Sun Bleached Noses After Years of Facing West |
Description: |
Taken three miles west of State Street at Western Avenue Interlocking where the Milwaukee Road tracks from Union Station turn to the north and in the process cross the CNW tracks from its downtown station. Note the double-slip switches and the different signal heads for each road. #49 had an outbound train while #54 was inbound and had just left the interlocking plant. The tall white building in the background was the Standard Oil Building (Big Stan) a couple blocks east of State Street. Big Stan is now called the Aon Center but remains the third tallest building in the United States. |
