Changes at Bridgeport
Historically speaking, at least the third iteration of signaling has recently sprouted at Bridgeport Junction, the northernmost / westernmost end of CN's ex-IC Chicago Sub, where it splits into the former Iowa Division (the Freeport Sub) and the ex-GM&O main line (the Joliet Sub). One of the formerly-signaled tracks in Bridgeport "Yard" (once one of the main IC Iowa Division tracks) has finally been removed, leaving just one long runner track, and further east, a short passing siding for runaround moves, which this local has just utilized. CN 9566 and a fellow ex-IC unit, plus a GTW geep, move through the junction alongside CTA's Orange Line, and head for Hawthorne Yard on the Freeport Sub, on a surprisingly cool summer evening.
