Larry Foht posted C&NW Railroad Depot & Wreck McHenry Illinois There lucky this wreck didn't take the Depot down. Date April 1908 : Larry Foht collection : |
I included the crossing sign on the left because it showed me that there is street running here.

The "street running" track is the old house track.
1963 McHenry Quad @ 24,000 |
Why do they keep that track? That siding is not long enough to get around the commuter trains that are parked here because it is at the end of a commuter train line.

I dug deeper because just two trains is not enough to run a normal commuter schedule. That is when I determined that this is at the end of a branch off the UP-NW service. There must not be much freight on this branch if they are parking commuter trains on the mainline.
