A few posts ago we saw a movement along the north/south Milwaukee Road in Rockford; here I follow up with a meet along Illinois Central’s east/west line to Iowa. I believe the first shot is taken on the west side of the Rock River, at Corbin Street, while the meet happens at Buckbee Siding on the other side, at 8th Street.
In the final image we see numbers on the signal post that indicate we’re 85 miles west of Chicago. Also, there’s a switcher in the consist, but probably not running, as I think it’s to be delivered to the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Railway down the line.
Five photographs by Richard Koenig; taken November 27th 1976.
SquidKeegan's Rockford is now on GMOD! In the SquidKeegan world, Rockford is home to Off the Hook, OctoKeegan, Daxton, Tracer, and Captain Cuttlefish. Tracer's house has got SquidKeegan teared up though. Could it be...?👀
