It looks like the switcher, and the F-7 behind it hauling a southbound freight, are waiting for some northbound traffic to clear.

I believe these assingments to divisions changed over time. Seeing as the yard was about a mile south east of the city, I would suspect the locomotives would be under the Aurora division listing. Anyone know for sure where they assigned in 1950? > > Rich G. > __._,_.___
