>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. ted At 09:14 PM 7/25/2017, you wrote: >In this Savanna image I'm fascinated by the Q engine/caboose lead in >the foreground crossing the MILW branch line. >It appears the Q lead crosses the MILW branch in the middle of the >MILW turnout.
