Changes at A-2
Dusk falls over Chicago as the evening rush intensifies. Here at the Tower A-2 interlocking, Pennsy-style position-light signals remain- for now. Metra recently replaced the PLs with modern signals on the west side of the interlocking plant, so for now, these (and the lights at Racine Avenue) are the last remaining PRR signals in the area. Three trains are visible here- a Milwaukee District inbound, the deadhead move for UP-North Line train 349, (with its C&NW private lounge car) and a deadhead move from the Western Avenue coach yard on the Milwaukee District, poking around the curve at the tower itself.
