Constant Change
The landscape around 16th Street Tower is looking more and more like a wasteland these days, as development of the former B&O, NYC and Rock Island rail yard land to the north commences, and CN downgrades its Chicago Subdivision in the downtown area- the north track has been removed between 21st Street and Oakwood on the old IC main line. Through this scarred landscape, Amtrak's southbound 'Illini' creeps down the St Charles Air Line at dusk.
