A mild December Saturday afternoon with outside temperatures in the upper 40's, was spent photographing transfer trains at Argo Tower and Junction in Summit Illinois during the final weeks of the year of 1990. The tower was in it's last years of service as an interlocking train traffic control operation at these crosstracks, and would officially close in 1993. The tower was slowly demolished in stages untill 1995.The Chicago & NorthWestern transfer train is heading northbound on the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad, and is crossing the Ilinois Central ex Gulf, Mobile & Ohio mainline at Argo Junction.
