A look back to when GTW still was running to Elsdon, and the Metra embankment at Blue Island was accessible (PSA to not trespass at that location).

That's one heck of a railroad clip. The quadrupal truss bridges and diamonds are a model railroader's dream. Super engine lashups, too; Chicago & Northwestern, Chessie System, Grand Trunk Western, etc... CSX tracks look sharp, but here, still some knotty looking jointed rail and swaying cars at Blue Island.

This was before ditch lights were required on locomotives.

Seems like it was a very busy place! Lots of angles to shoot from...

Oh yes! Many fond memories of these scenes from Clear Block. The quality is much better, are these from the originals? or upconverted? Thank you for sharing your work and hope you continue doing so.
