Iillinois Central Wood Sleeper,  "Amboy"
Title:  Iillinois Central Wood Sleeper, "Amboy"
Description:  This older photo appears to be a builders photo of the Illinois Central wooden, open platform sleeper car named "Amboy" after the IC depot and division headquarters in Amboy, Illinois. No date, location or photographer was given for the photo. From "The Century of Pullman Cars", the Amboy is listed as having been purchased by IC. I would guess that Pullman built it but it could be Wagner Car Company as it was listed having built a lounge/drawing room car. Does anyone know for sure?.

IC Central Station
Title:  IC Central Station
Description:  Illinois Central Railroad Central Station at about Roosevelt Road in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in June 1973, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The Romanesque Revival structure, designed by Bradford L. Gilbert and built by the Illinois Central Railroad, opened April 17, 1893 to meet the traffic demands of the World's Columbian Exposition.

The station building was demolished in 1974.

ICG 1309 at Kensington Interlocking Plant
Title:  ICG 1309 at Kensington Interlocking Plant
Description:  1309 is taking its transfer train from the farthest to the closest non-electrified track. There are only two electrified tracks coming through the station (the photographer is on the far south end of the platform) making it a bottlenck. The track heading diagonally through the plant (under the first boxcars) is the only track to and from the South Shore's main tracks. So all CSS&SB and IC (Metra) electric trains must go through here and think of the days when many steam/diesel powered intercity trains ran on the non-electrified tracks. Note, in 2008 a rearangement of the tracks is underway to add the much needed capacity to allow additional South Shore and Metra trains. Also note the diamond near the lower right corner of the picture has movable points.

Description:  The light engines are on the closest of the three non-electrified tracks. There are only two electrified tracks (closests) coming through Kensington station (the photographer is on the far south end of the platform) making the station a bottlenck. The track heading vertically through the plant is the only track to and from the South Shore's main tracks. All CSS&SB and IC (Metra) electric trains must go through here and think of the days when many steam/diesel powered intercity trains ran on the non-electrified tracks. Note, in 2008 a rearangement of the tracks is underway to add the much needed capacity to allow additional South Shore and Metra trains.
