6077 EJ&E End of Track 9-73

EJ&E End of track marker at the far northern point on the entire EJ&E. This marker was just north of Greenwood Ave. in Waukegan, IL in September 1973. North of there, the Johns-Manville plant trackage continued on and fanned into a small yard serving their plant. Now, the plant is gone; the site is vacant and all the trackage is gone; and the EJ&E track no longer crosses Greenwood. Just south of there is the former Commonwealth Edison, now Midwest Generating power plant which now marks the new north end of the EJ&E. I like to use this photo at the end of most of my slide shows, sometimes, just for effect, turning it on its side so the lettering reads across instead of down.
