Title:  Same spot as John Hill's photo, 30 years later
Description:  Much has changed since John Hill took his photo here 30 years ago. The center passing track has been removed and the signals have been upgraded to 261 bi-directional instead of 251. The codeline the used to be to the right of the tracks has been removed as well. Check out the photo from this same location in 1977: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=730545
