Timothy Leppert: Looks like a photo taken from a tower? Plus, you can see control rods by the North side platform heading to the signal bridge. Great photo.

William Shapotkin: Timothy Leppert Yes, the photo was taken from a tower. Note the tracks in Harlem Ave -- those tracks are of the Chicago & West Towns BERWYN-LYONS carline (today service is provided by PACE bus Rt #302 -- OGDEN/STANLEY). The crossing was interlocked -- thus providing protection for both CB&Q and C&WT.

Timothy Leppert: William Shapotkin Thanks, Excellent. When I used to drive the Commuters, I could see many old building foundations from the past. There is such a great history for this service and it was a great career.
