Scope and Contents

From the File:

CNW Unit #1057 Fairbanks Morse shoving three cars into the yard. Same general area as E-31 but looking to the west instead of the east. At the extreme upper left corner of the picture is a Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy passenger train. In the left corner of the picture is a Northwestern Fairbanks-Morse locomotive shoving three cars into the Northwestern Wood Street yard. Across the top of the cars being shoved is a portion of the Northwestern's potato yard, and beyond that is the Midland warehouse and other buildings which run along Western Avenue. To the right of these tracks, switches along the yard lead to the Chicago and Northwestern main lines running through the Wood Street district. The automatic block signal in the center of the picture shows the B & O main line tracks which come in at the extreme lower right-hand portion of the picture. The boxcar in the foreground from the roof of which this picture was taken is spotted on the B & O track at Robey Street, now called Damon Avenue. The curvatures on the Northwestern tracks are apparent. (This photograph was taken in the same location as Exhibit G-2 in the B&O Chicago photographs by J. B. Redmond).
