Pennsy Passenger (Coach) Yard

(Satellite, it has been rebuilt as Amtrak's yard)

I have notes on CB&Q buildings and yards south of Chicago Union Station, on Penny's freight house, and the complicated track work where the CB&Q and Pennsy tracks merged into a throat for Union Station; but I don't have any notes on Pennsy coach railyard that was south of their freight house. This photo motivates me to fix that omission.

Gulf, Mobile & Ohio train #2, The Abraham Lincoln, easing past the Pennsylvania Railroad's coach yard as it approaches Chicago Union Station - circa 1963.
An E7A-F3A-E7A combination powered the all-lightweight, 16-car consist on that day.
On the left is the PRR's all-private room Broadway Limited, waiting for its 5:00 PM overnight run to New York City.

[The photo is old enough that the B&OCT bridge is in the down position.]
