A waiting car casts a morning shadow on West Washington Street as an operator hands up train orders to a freight swinging onto the Jacksonville line. My brother David took this transparency in November 1969. Very likely this train was the East Peoria-Bloomington turn that ran to Bloomington at night and then went back to its base terminal, the Peoria & Pekin Union facility in East Peoria. The train made the connection to the East Peoria line over the wye track north of San Jose. (Thanks to David P. Jordan for the background information on train operations.)
