Nostalgia & History > AMtrak photo where is itDate: 11/30/19 14:29 AMtrak photo where is it Author: rhburn3 Team,
I have reviewed my travel log of every commerical lfight I have ever taken. In the summer of 1978, I was in Pittsburgh and the Norfolk/Newport News area. I was living in Savannah, GA and may have traded this photo with someone else. Any suggestions. Rick Burn Date: 11/30/19 14:36 Re: AMtrak photo where is it Author: ghemr The train is on the ICG (ex GM&O) at 21st Street in Chicago. This location had many names depending on what railroad you were on.

Definitely not 21st Street http://www.railfanguides.us/il/chicago/interlocking/CHICAGOalton_jct.gif The power switches and curvature don't match anywhere I can think of in Chicago. Certainly not Bridgeport, Corwith, LeMoyne (Nerska) or Argo.

Just west of the curve onto South Branch bridge. CJV in Aurora, Illinois Date: 11/30/19 15:59 Re: AMtrak photo where is it Author: TAW TAW Wrote:
