Re: April Photo of the Month
Here is mine, the is the only cantilever picture i have that I haven't submitted to the site. Amtrak 306, pulled by P42DC 118, passes Jackson ST. in Auburn, IL. Considering all the trains that pass here, its surprises me I haven't taken a decent picture of this crossing in action.

I speak my mind, if you don't like that oh well. I'll have you fill out a hurt feelings report and submit that to my office.

Cantilevers on an industrial spur off the Norfolk Southern Kankakee Branch. (Fair St., Kankakaee, IL)
I'm thinking it's a RACO cantilever, but it's completely unmarked.
Cheers,
Joshua

Re: April Photo of the Month
I don't have too many cantilever photos that are not on the site yet, so I'm going to have to go with...
Abandoned cantilevers! Erie St., Milwaukee, WI:
The tracks dead-end either side of the crossing.

Re: April Photo of the Month
I forget which junction this is in Chicago (near Dolton Jct), but all of these cantilevers are still manually controlled (as Of 2009) from the signal tower.

Re: April Photo of the Month
I thought CSX dispatched it...? Well, it would make sense for IHB to dispatch it too. They do completely own the second crossing. (2 track)
However, the 7 track crossing had CSX DOT information posted, and I do believe half the crossing track is owned by CSX. (CN owns another double mainline over the crossing)
Cheers,
Joshua
