- Description:
- Orderly view of the Taylor and Rockwell Streets area, with the Taylor Street viaduct in the center of the picture. Various industries are served along the tracks here on the left by the North Western, and on the right by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Signals must frequently be passed on fireman's side because of close clearances. Industries are Wheeling Corrugating Industry and a foundry (located toward the edge of the picture). Close clearance on the viaduct, indicated by the black and white strips painted on the girders along the entire length of the trackage. The three Chicago and North Western tracks on the left of the picture branch into or cross the Pennsylvania tracks in the right foreground. The Wood Street yard in Chicago Junction Railroad tracks are in the right center of the picture.
