I'm not sure if this link will work as I intend, but it's what appears to be a view of the present-day Alton Junction:

Yep, that is, unfortunately, all that remains of Alton Junction. When Dearborn Station was closed, the 4-track C&WI mainline that formed most of the diamonds at Alton Junction was all torn up and removed. That left the 2-track PRR mainline that once paralleled the C&WI and which today still carries commuter trains and Amtrak over the PRR vertical lift bridge which can be seen in that Google photo.

Byron, I wonder if he is referring to the image of that layout at the bottom of your post.

Probably not, since he's started another thread about Fred Soop. But larger views of the HOn3/HO track plan in my signature are here.

My apologies for the backward posts, I got my Covid booster yesterday and I have been sick since.
