I have to agree with Bob here. Several things are missing and/or out of
whack with what was in JC:
* Where are the big signal bridges?
* What are the two tracks going off to the left?
* Coal dock next to the main tracks here?
My guess would be Chicago. The two divergent lines are common at a
"union" station like Dearborn.
This more closely resembles West End on the DL&W than any Erie location
I'm familiar with out East!
BTW, check out the trackwork in the center of the photo - a switch
overlaid over a diamond! How cool is that?
