'Hoosier State' at 21st Street

Iowa Pacific's 'Hoosier State' / Amtrak 851 gets underway out of Chicago, having just crossed the CN/IC Chicago Sub and the South Branch Chicago River at 21st Street. I am standing on the former right-of-way of the C&WI, which, until the mid-'70s, famously crossed the IC and Pennsy at 21st Street/Alton Junction with dozens of diamonds.
