Last Weeks |
Description: |
The WBCS West Naperville was built as a intermediate signal bridge. It was later re-used by the BN and turned into a control point when BN installed crossovers at both ends of the Naperville station. It is now just a matter of weeks until BNSF pulls the plug on this classic bridge forever. |
