| William Shapotkin posted You say you would like to see more Streator, IL material? OK then, here is a pix of the tower that protected the ATSF/Alton-NYC Xing. Dennis DeBruler I noticed the photo is labeled CB&Q. So this is probably not the junction with Santa Fe. CB&Q had two different railroads into Streator. They both terminated near the NYC+Alton where the Alton curved towards the west Dennis DeBruler The SantaFe crossing is a little further southeast: https://www.google.com/.../@41.1199713,-88.../data=!3m1!1e3 William Shapotkin also posted William Shapotkin also posted Craig Cloud Ahem it's NYC/PC then CR! Kankakee branch that ran South Bend west passing thru Toto, North Judson etc. CR would take up the track east of Wheatfield. Like to know if photos floating around Schneider tower, particularly interior. Steve Drassler Actually it's the Three-I (Iowa Illinois and Indiana RR), then NYC, PC, CR NS. I worked on that line from NYC on. Despaired about taking up the track east of Wheatfield to South Bend. Dumb thing to do. Craig Cloud Perfect bypass frt going to ATSF in Streator vice versa instead of Porter branch to Osborn turn south then west again at Schneider. |

Kerry Bruck: Streator Illinois near where the CBQ, New York Central and the GMO all cross over each other. Dick Vant: Is the tower NOT. An interlocking plant ??? I see a hand thrown switch there and no train order signal at the tower. ???? That could have been a crossing gate tower. Where the gates had to be lowered by a person . There was such a tower in west Chicago like that. For awhile. For CNW crossing. The J Thomas Whitt shared |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Jeff's post So those two signalling pipelines would have curved around the track all the way from the tower that was a little north of Kent Street. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.1246453,-88.8319755,516m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu |
