Remarks & Notes |
Photo by Kurt Strausse, deceased. Eastbound IC manifest enters double-track at East Cabin. This train is likely No 72 or No 74. The train order board shown here is that of the IC and governed eastbounds on the CB&Q and the CGW as well, from here to Portage. The radio antenna at the top of the pole behind the engine is that of the CB&Q. Photo taken in mid 60s with a Nikon F.
A historical note: East Cabin was formerly only a train order station and the switches were handled by a switch tender before about 1946. The original building stood about where the Julien Dubuque Bridge support appears in this photo. You can see this building near the center of this photo: www [dot] flickr [dot] com/photos/barrigerlibrary/12466136875/in/set-72157640323352135/ |
