Re: [CBQ] assistance with photos of Downers Grove - Belmont Rd. station and area

Thank you very much, Leo!  

I wondered if CTC didn't have something to do with it.  In the period in which I grew up I am pretty sure the signaling (with searchlight signals) was ABS (I recall four "colors": green, yellow, flashing yellow, and red.)  So when I returned as an older adult CTC was operative. 

I don't know why I kind of enjoyed seeing a train on the "wrong main" - it made it all more interesting.    

I might add that the only evidence I saw of that fourth track was the very nice service roadway on the north side of the main line and (even more striking) the extra space to the north on the piers of the bridge over the West Branch of the DuPage River.
