[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH</i> <br /><br />The NYC & PRR mains ran parallel and/or within sighting distance of each other from Englewood station to approximately 117th St in Whiting IN for a distance of 8-9 miles. The "racetrack" included a slow order for the Calumet River Drawbridge, which was a vertical lift bridge consisting of four (!) parallel double-track spans. <br />The bridge is still an impressive sight, even though one of the spans has been removed and two of the others are out of service and are permanently in the raised position. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks for sharing the information, CSS. To date, I've only seen one photograph of the two trains departing Englewood, and have always been fascinated with the image. You've given me some valuable information and I really appreciate it.
