- Description:
- Southeasterly view of the railroad crossing at Taylor and Rockwell Streets in Chicago. The tracks in the immediate foreground belong to the Pennsylvania Railroad. Tracks on the extreme left are the Chicago and North Western tracks leading to its Wood Street Yard. The tracks bisecting the foregoing tracks running left to right across the picture are those of the B & O, Soo Line, and Chicago Great Western Railroads. Cross-over movements here are frequent and a lookout must be maintained at all times on both sides of the locomotive.
