ICG SW14 1482 Brighton Park, IL

Two of ICG's rebuilt SW14's lead a string of empty pig flats south through Brighton Park. The railroad's heritage that they're on is given away by the B&O style CPL signal. Brighton Park was quite a bottleneck back then with all trains having to stop and contact the switch tender for a signal to get across. It's less interesting today but a lot more fluid. I worked the RB desk the day they made the cutover and smiled all day long...
