Hi Rick,
From the photo it appears the Q roundhouse lead crosses behind the
frog, so you can say the Q lead is crossing two Milw tracks. Wonder
how they worked the switch and diamond ties supporting that
mess. Very special track work. And the Q crossed the same line with
four more tracks to the left.
It is interesting the Q engine terminal was built right next to the
Milw yard. Leaving that low ground between the Q yard and engine
terminal. Maybe that space was for future yard tracks.
Some of Milwaukee's yard is visible in the background. The light
colored building the upper right corner is the Milw Savanna depot.
Keep in mind the Milw was in Savanna about 20 years before the Q was
built through. With all these diamonds and special track work,
Savanna was an expensive place for the Q to build through.
