Charlie,

You are saying that the DZ photo is taken looking east so that the 
train is westbound, is that correct? I don't recall whether the 
westbound approach to the EJ&E bridge is a long straight away. If you 
are correct, then somewhere between this point and west of Aurora, the 
communication lines switch from north to south. In the Chicago - Aurora 
area, I think the communication lines were on the north side of the 
track, so you could be correct and certainly, the wide ballast area to 
the left in the photo, could have been the remnants of the old fourth 
main between DG and Aurora.
