Mike's Railroad Crossing Forum

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.

Here is mine

From the old Viall Ave 2 setup.

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

NO SHIT SHERLOCK THATS ALREADY BE ESTABLISH

2 MORE WEEKS TO POST!!!!

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.

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.

thats Blue Island Crossover IHB dispatches it

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)
