ATSF and Semaphores in Joliet, IL. 6/16/1991

While we here Joliet, IL. we catch a west bound Santa Fe with four newer B40's for power. It is passing the Joliet station, and then hitting the diamond. It passes under the still operating semaphores. At this time, EVERYONE was friendly at this location. The crews, the tower operator, etc. The tower operator even came out to talk to us, and give us a line-up. Nice guy! I doubt that it is the same now. Probably No Trespassing signs all over the place. Video was taken 6-16-1991.
Thanks for watching.
