Back In Fleet at Barrington - a photo on Flickriver

            So in this photo, it appears as though I am restoring the UP (CNW) route for autopilot.  When a train was to arrive here, the operator was called from home and would then show up.  You would then call the EJ&E chief on the phone and let him know you're there and they would call back shortly and let you know of the trains arrival.  This night I would be running #21 (Joliet to Waukegan turn). 
 #21 would make stops at Munger, Spaulding, Leithton, Rondout and Waukegan.  Most of his train was for Rondout.
 West Chicago would also let you know when the train went west, and vice-versa.  The date was July 3rd, 2001.  Jason Tykac or my dads photo I believe.  

The colored levers marked "East" & "West" were out of service train order levers. They sat in positions 19 & 20 in the interlocking bed.
