ICG / Belt Tower. March 1987.

This is My only photograph I have of this forgotten Railroad interlocking tower. This is a photograph of a building that the Belt Railway of Chicago crews simply called, ICG / BELT Tower.
This was approximately 5 blocks south of 31st street and 6 blocks east of Cicero Avenue, near the Chicago City limits.
This tower controlled the train traffic on the Belt Railway of Chicago's north/ south Mainline, and the Illinois Central Gulf railroad's Iowa Division mainline. This control tower building was demolished around 1990.
