Lots to love here Marty.

What I love is the crossover right in the middle of a grade crossing.

Station name was Beverly Jct. The route to the right is the B&OCT and was used by B&O and C&O passenger trains which operated over the Rock Island from Rock Island Jct located almost under the Skyway bridge.

I love this picture. I lived right across 89th Street at this very location in the early 1950's. I remember the Streamliners (F3's ?) and then the Switch Engine types (RS-3's and FM H15-44's ???) on the Rock Island Commuter trains. I have looked for and never found a RI Locomotive in the red and white color scheme on this line. I would appreciate any more pictures of RI commuter trains on the Suburban Line in this time period or the 1950's. Thank you for the memories.
