  • Union Depot Tower Interlocking Plant
    Union Depot Tower Union Depot Tower (U.D. Tower) was completed in 1914 as part of a municipal project to improve rail transportation through Joliet, which included track elevation of all four railroad lines that went through downtown Joliet and the construction of a new passenger station to consolidate the four existing passenger stations into one. A result of this overall project was the above-grade intersection of 4 north-south lines with 4 east-west lines. The crossing of these rail lines required sixteen track diamonds. A diamond is a fixed intersection between two tracks. The purpose of UD Tower was to ensure and coordinate the safe and timely movement of trains through this critical intersection of east-west and north-south rail travel. UD Tower housed the mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection, also known as an interlocking plant. Interlocking Plant Interlocking plants consisted of the signaling appliances and tracks at the intersections of major rail lines that required a method of control to prevent collisions and provide for the efficient movement of trains. Most interlocking plants had elevated structures that housed mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection. Union Depot Tower is such an elevated structure. Source: Museum of the American Railroad Frisco Texas CSX Train 1513 moves east through the interlocking. July 25, 1997. Photo courtesy of Tim Frey Ownership of Union Depot Tower Upon the completion of Union Depot Tower in 1914, U.D. Tower was owned and operated by the four rail companies with lines that came through downtown Joliet.

    Summer 2007 Vol. XXXV, No. 2 Messages from President Joe Petric... Enclosed with this Switchlist is Issue 115 of the NEWS. My congratulations to the Publications Committee for a job well done and a sincere thank you to the authors that contributed their time and talents to this magazine. This is one of the most outstanding issues that we have ever published! Also enclosed with this mailing are a number of forms pertaining to the 35th Annual Meeting of the Society which is being held in suburban Chicago at The Oaks Inn in Burr Ridge, IL over the weekend of September 28-30, 2007. As mentioned in the Spring Switchlist, we are ho1ding a joint meeting with the Rock Island Technical Society in conjunction with their 33rd Annual Meeting. Show Chairman Dave Wagner reports that as of the writing of this Switchlist (6/20/07), we already have 36 vendor tables sold for the event. This is fantastic support for a show that is still three months away. If you are a vendor or just a “regular" railfan who wishes to part with some of your collection, you better hurry and reserve a table(s) so you will not miss out on this outstanding event. Please see the enclosed full page flyer for details on the Swap Meet and Annual Meeting Banquet. The Autumn Switchlist with additional information for the Annual Meeting will be mailed in early August. In addition to the Saturday Show and Banquet, we are sponsoring an excursion on Metra over the Rock Island District from Joliet Union Station to LaSalle Street Station in Chicago, and returning via the Heritage Corridor, which is the former GM&O main, from Chicago Union Station to Joliet.

  • Section 2: Open Space & Trails
    Open Space & Trails Section 2: Open Space & Trails Landscape Lockport’s original landscape features -- rivers, streams, creeks, limestone outcroppings, prairies, wooded groves, marshes, and fens -- have all contributed to the shape of the City. Today, these features play an important role in creating the character of Lockport. Refer to page 11 for open space and trail systems within and around the downtown study area. Lockport is a valley town set above and to the east of the Des Plaines River. The heights were formed by glaciers that left behind moraines deposited in an east-west direction and composed of boulders, sand, and gravel. When the ancient lake that these moraines held back was breached, the torrential out-fl ow created the river valley. The amount and quality of open space in Lockport make it one of the City’s greatest physical assets. Open space within the project area consists of the I&M Canal National Heritage Corridor, the Milne Creek Corridor, West Side Park, the Deep Run Creek Corridor, and the east bank of the Sanitary & Ship Canal. Lockport’s natural resources are plentiful and relatively underdeveloped. They present a number of opportunities to enhance or expand upon these resources. I & M Canal National Heritage Corridor August 2008 Lockport Downtown Master Plan 23 Open Space & Trails I & M Canal National Heritage Corridor The Illinois & Michigan Canal, set here in the Des Plaines River Valley, is a major asset to the character and cultural history of Lockport. Building of the I & M Canal began in 1836 and was completed in 1848.

  • Joliet Limestone: the Rise and Fall of a Nineteenth Century Building Material and Its Architectural Impact on the Joliet, Illinois Area.” Quarterly Publication
    “Joliet Limestone: The Rise and Fall of a Nineteenth Century Building Material and Its Architectural Impact on the Joliet, Illinois Area.” Quarterly Publication. Lockport, Ill.: Will County Historical Society, Winter 1997. 268 JOLIET LIMESTONE: The Rise and Fall of a Nineteenth Century Building Material and Its Architectural Impact on the Joliet, Illinois, Area by John M. Lamb Prepared for the Illinois History Symposium of the Illinois State Historical Society This paper addresses the architectural use of dolomite limestone, a particular type of stone found in outcroppings along the Des Plaines River between Chicago and Joliet. This stone has been and still is quarried for a number of construction uses. It is quarried today as crushed rock, and it was quarried and fired in the 19th century to make lime for hydraulic cement. It was also quarried for a flux used in processing steel. But I want to look at its use as a load-bearing building material between the 1830s and about 1917. This type of construction requires the stone to be cut and then laid in courses as it was found in the quarries. It could only be used as a weight-bearing wall. It was formed over a period of several million years in layers beneath prehistoric lakes. In the process, lime was deposited in layers of various thicknesses. The glaciers grew and subsequently receded at a later period. So the material wasn’t deposited in solid blocks as were other stone building materials such as Bedford limestone, marble and granite.1 Because of its formation, when using the dolomite limestone for construction, the blocks had to be laid as they were in the quarries.

  • Plan Assumptions and Previous Studies
    SECTION 3 Plan Assumptions and Previous Studies SECTION 3 Plan Assumptions and Previous Studies This section of the report presents the assumptions used in the planning process and an overview of prior studies that are relevant to the Will County 2030 Transportation Plan. Given the uncertainty of the future, the planning assumptions provide the basis for plan development and are implicit in the decision making process. These studies were referenced in order to incorporate previous planning efforts. Generally, these previous studies provided context and background for the Will County 2030 Transportation Plan. The potential projects list used to evaluate transportation needs in Will County was partially developed from these previous planning efforts. Available published documents were also used as a source of information about the proposed South Suburban Airport and the former Joliet Arsenal. 3.1 Planning Assumptions A set of reasonable assumptions were developed to address some of the uncertainties about future needs and conditions. These planning level assumptions were used to define input for the 2030 Transportation Plan. These assumptions also help to define what the effect would be on the plan should future trends dramatically depart from that which is currently and can be reasonably assumed to occur. • The 2030 forecasts serve as the planning horizon for the study and were based on year 2030 forecasts for population and employment as endorsed by NIPC, September 2003, and the action-oriented forecast developed for this study (Section 6.2.2). The Will County traffic demand model with the socioeconomic forecasts will serve as a basis for developing the future forecasted traffic.
