Re: Where Is It?

Very good. Kalamazoo heading west. They have turned off the main and would be going to the old freight house across from the depot of the South Haven Branch. My bet based on the number of cars is out the South Haven Branch.

Re: Where Is It?

It was the Chicago and Alton until it was merged into the GM&O in the 40's. Then merged into the IC. IC sold it to the Chicago Missouri and Western in the 80's. Bankrupt in a year CMNW sold this portion to Southern Pacifc and it's now part of UP.

Re: Chebanse, IL

Ah the flashing yellow was a southbound indication mounted on the same mast as the northbound yellow over red. It would be an active signal. You were looking at an advance approach to the red at
siding north of Ashkum.

Re: Chebanse, IL

Flashing yellow is a common indication. CN uses it on the ex-GTW even where new signal equipment has been installed. What you will see along the IC is two heads where most roads are using three.

Interurban ROW somewhere south of GR?
That is correct so far, south side of Grand Rapids. I will say, the street name next to this picture location is appropriated named :)
