| Andy Zukowski posted Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad and Tower in Colona, Illinois. 1911 Robert Weber: That's a CB&Q train headed towards Galesburg. Tim Shanahan shared Doug Hefty: The former CRIP (now Iowa Interstate) is today a single track and the diamond has been replaced by two switches with the IAIS switching onto and then off of the BNSF main. |
A different exposure. It looks like there is a brakeman on top of the train.

| Fans of Rock Island Lines posted Colona, Ill. About a mile outside Carbon Cliff. Rocks mains to Chicago in the foreground, C..B.Q. freight just cleared the diamond headed to Barstow Ill. Joseph Obrien shared Tim Shanahan shared |
This map was back when it was a traditional diamond crossing. I believe the reason they switched to using two turnouts was to avoid the maintenance cost of a diamond.
