Highlands westbound signal bridge |
| Description: |
As of April 14, 2007, this is the easternmost CB&Q signal bridge still in service on the Chicago Subdivision that is not in Clyde or Western Avenue freight yards or near the 14th Street coach yard. This one controls westbound traffic through Hinsdale and is located at the Highlands depot. The eastward signal was one of the first on this line to be replaced, but the barren bridge itself still stands. Ektachrome 100. |

Fairview westbound signals |
| Description: |
The CB&Q signals at Fairview Avenue show all red. There was some ingenuity on the part of the Q to put the standard mast signal on a bridge and save money while doing it, and these signals have served the Q, the BN, and the BNSF faithfully for decades. |

Downers Grove westbound signals |
| Description: |
The old CB&Q signal bridge at Downers Grove. The left side (nearest photographer) is longer to accommodate an absolute signal for a long-gone track that ran around the left side of the station for the Railway Express agent. |

Eastbound Downers Grove signals |
| Description: |
This bridge extends quite a bit off to the left to cover two former yard tracks that still see occasional use. It was impractical to get the entire bridge in one shot with the sun where it was at this point. Does anybody know what the red building down the tracks a bit is? |
