| Here is a photo taken by Mr. Lynn H. Westcott entitled "One of Chicago's Busiest Crossings." It was published originally in the November 1947 issue of "Trains" magazine, page 61. Photo Caption: "This is Twenty-first Street crossing in Chicago. The multiple tracks of the Chicago & Western Indiana run from left to right, cross the two-track line of the Pennsylvania in the center of the photo, and then turn south. Gulf Mobile & Ohio (Alton) trains run on the tracks at the extreme right. The Santa Fe switcher in the background is on two tracks which leave the C&WI right of way at the crossing and bear southwest. Illinois Central also runs over these. All trains using Dearborn Station and Pennsylvania trains to and from Union Station operate over this intersection. At the extreme left background is an interchange track. Photo by Linn H. Westcott." |
