Photographer:Chione, Alfred G. (Morton, Ill.)
Notes: Mile Post 122.50. This is a lighter duplicate of photoprint P026148. "The switch stand at the right is actually a derail to prevent runaway cars from heading down out of town. You can see how it operated a point that closed to allow trains to pass, like a track turnout (switch.)" [Source of quote: Robert Herrone, email 3/27/07.]
