Cottage Hill Avenue Crossing and the Elmhurst Depot, 1960

Looking east of the Cottage Hill Avenue crossing, showing the three main line tracks of the North Western. The track in the center of the picture is the westbound main line track, the track to the left of it, or the center track, is used in either direction, and the track on the extreme left is the eastbound main line track. The road freight train here is moving through one of the most heavily trafficked crossings in Elmhurst. The North Western itself has very heavy passenger traffic out of this station.
