It is a pipeline to the dwarf signal on the bridge straight back from the
end of the grab irons. Protected the CNW crossing. Note lower quad. Just
like the Auto Interlocker on the branch farther south.

books. The captions have a lot information in them. In reading these, I
would like to know what a "Way Freight" is? Like in the "Rock Falls way
Freight" or the "Streator Stock and Merchandise Way Freight".

> Also, for those of you who have this book, on page 71 there is an awesome
photograph of a GP-7 crossing the Rock River. Along the left of the tracks
are three pipes that lead out on to the bridge and follow the tracks. What
are these pipes for? I noticed that there are telephone phone poles next to
the pipe with wires on them. I wouldn't think that the pipes are
electricity or phone lines. I have noticed similar pipes running along the
track side in the top photograph on page 74. If anything, are they related
to the railroad?
