Westbound Amtrak train approaching Brighton Junction. Chicago Illinois USA. April 1984.

I took this photo on My first visit alone to Chicago's Brighton Junction, way back in April of 1984. We are looking eastbound where the mainline slightly rises over South western Avenue, as a westbound Amtrak train slowing to make the mandatory brief stop, at the manually operated semaphore equipped junction near Archer and western Avenues approaches. This was taken on a lovely and mild Saturday afternoon, in April of 1984. The CTA Orange line that passes overhead here today, was still 9 years away.
