Bill Molony posted The Michigan Central Railroad's roundhouse and water tower at Joliet, Illinois - 1920. Larry Grzywinski  The Michigan Central (MC) Yard was close to Washington Street on the south and the Rock Island (RI) on the north. The RI was then moved to south of the yard next to the MC. Eventually the MC was abandoned and just the RI remained. The RI was running commuter trains from Joliet to Chicago. Metra took over the trains and the yard along Washington Street is for the storage of their commuter cars.http://www.historicmapworks.com/.../Will+County+1909+to.../ |
