Title:
ICG 1309 at Kensington Interlocking Plant
Description:
1309 is taking its transfer train from the farthest to the closest non-electrified track. There are only two electrified tracks coming through the station (the photographer is on the far south end of the platform) making it a bottlenck. The track heading diagonally through the plant (under the first boxcars) is the only track to and from the South Shore's main tracks. So all CSS&SB and IC (Metra) electric trains must go through here and think of the days when many steam/diesel powered intercity trains ran on the non-electrified tracks. Note, in 2008 a rearangement of the tracks is underway to add the much needed capacity to allow additional South Shore and Metra trains. Also note the diamond near the lower right corner of the picture has movable points.
