Summary
| Description |
English: Original captions: Rapid Transit: "FREIGHT TRAIN AT STREET INTERSECTION -- CHICAGO"; The Technical World: "FREIGHT TRAINS AT STREET INTERSECTION." Captions from an almost identical photo identify this as a view looking north through the intersection of State and Randolph streets and identify the man driving the left locomotive as Superintendent George W. Jackson. Two locomotives on the Morgan third-rail rack trackage of the Illinois Tunnel Company. The locomotives were built by the Goodman Equipment Corporation. This is a composite of scans of 4 different copies of 'Rapid Transit in New York', scaled to match and overlayed to mute the moiré patterns in the scan and sharpen the result. |
