“The ICRR was detouring over the B&OCT from Harvey, IL to Riverdale, IL. My father, John T. Eagan, Sr., was conductor on this job. I was working at Wyman-Gordon and by phone we arranged for me to take a picture of him going under the WG pedestrian bridge in Harvey.” Photo by John Eagan on 5/30/1975
Caption: “Chicago . . . at 75th St on the B&OCT ... a Chicago Terminal train, what the railroad used to call ‘Runs’. This one has a GP30 and a GP35 for power as it rolls southbound, or inbound on the dispatcher's train sheet. He's about to cross the Belt Railway of Chicago, or the Belt as we know it, and then the N&W's former Wabash, on his way home to Barr Yard. Over to the right, you can see the semaphores that used to guard the Pennsy's Panhandle line, that was taken out of service a little bit before this.”

Rockwell St by Bob Lalich Via Flickr: Caption: “This photo shows the multiple crossings of the B&OCT, CNW and PRR Panhandle near 14th and Rockwell shortly after the railroads were elevated. Note what appears to be an interlocking tower on the left and a signal bridge in the distance. I thought these crossings had always been non-interlocked and the connections were manned by switchtenders on the CNW and B&OCT but this photo may indicate otherwise. At the time of the photo, passenger trains were running on this part of the Panhandle using the north end of the old Union Station.”
