I worked for EDWARD DON AND COMPANY which was located at the corners of Federal Street and Cermak Street know as 22nd. Street . Use to make deliveries to the Old Baltimore and Ohio and the Cincinnati and Ohio Railroads Main STATION with supplies paper goods, Sliverware and The Monacor Dishes for the B&O and the C&O and then the Chelsea and the Famous Kitten 😸 Picture. As well the Santa Fe 🍽 as well as The Chicago, Burlington and Northern . . .
Why did the modern North American Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad diesel electric freight trains go by the Joliet Union Station and the Joliet Slammers baseball stadium?
Nice layout. Is this a club layout, or some modeler whose died and went to heaven? Having grown up in Joliet in the day, I was able to see EJ&E, Santa Fe, GM&O, Milwaukee Road, New York Central and Penn Central and Illinois Central Gulf action in town. Hope you'll model some iconic Joliet industries.

Such a shame to see Dolton Tower gone. I remember 25 years ago when some friends and I went to visit and the tower operator invited us up inside. He gave us a tour of the tower and even let us set up movements for the trains going through.
WILCO. I wanted to launch and fly from the Park District field house in the SW quad of 16th St. Tower, But due to people parking there for free for the Auto Show, cars parked took up the LZ. Next Time.
