| Amtrak SDP40F 502 at about 22nd Street in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This location was known as Alton Junction or Fort Wayne Junction, depending on which railroad you worked for. The track was in the process of being rebuilt, note the second track to the far right is still incomplete. At the time of this photo, that would only be a problem for the ICG. I think Tim told me that the blue rail joiners marked a future weld point. |
