Milwaukee Road Signal 51.9

Southbound Milwaukee Road signal 51.9 stands north of Delmar, Illinois at MP 51.90 on April 15th, 1987 near an old location known as Wikstrom, about 2 1/2 miles N/E of Momence, Illinois. This was the southbound distant signal for Delmar tower at the crossing of Milwaukee Roads Terre Haute Division and New York Centrals Kankakee Belt or "3-I" line. This was the only time I ever saw this signal as the next time I came out to get a better shot, it was gone. The tracks had been removed for 7 years when this was taken. View is looking south and the tree line in the distance is the Kankakee River valley.
