Viewing Album:  East Meets West - CSS style
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:10/24/2011 - 10/24/2011
Album Info:While photographing the installation of a new relay box on the Chicago South Shore and South Bend RR near the Carroll Avenue station, I was lucky enough to catch a late eastbound commuter train meet up with an early westbound commuter train providing a lot of switching and bypass activity. In addition, it was the crew change point for both trains, all within 10 minutes but handled smoothly without a hitch of any kind.
