  • Union Depot Tower Interlocking Plant

    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.

Tower was owned and operated by the four rail companies with lines that came through downtown Joliet.

The existing tower and its associated switching equipment are obsolete. For the High- Speed Rail (HSR) program, the tower must be replaced with modern equipment. This action will cause an Adverse Effect to the Lenox Tower, a resource determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. This Adverse Effect finding is documented in the attached concurrence letter dated August 12, 2014. The attached draft document outlines proposed mitigation measures, which include Historic American Building Survey recordation and marketing of tower components prior to the removal of the tower. On behalf of the FRA and in accordance with the HSR Programmatic Agreement, ratified January 24, 2014, we request your review of the proposed mitigation measures. Please provide comments within 30 days. If you have no comments, then we request the concurrence of the State Historic Preservation Officer regarding the proposed mitigation measures.

    A Guide to the John W. Barriger III Papers in the John W. Barriger III National Railroad Library A Special Collection of the St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri St. Louis This project was made possible by a generous grant From the National Historical Publications and Record Commission an agency of the National Archives and Records Administration and by the support of the St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri St. Louis © 1997 The St. Louis Mercantile Library Association i Preface and Acknowledgements This finding aid represents the fruition of years of effort in arranging and describing the papers of John W. Barriger III, one of this century’s most distinguished railroad executives. It will serve the needs of scholars for many years to come, guiding them through an extraordinary body of papers documenting the world of railroading in the first two-thirds of this century across all of North America. In every endeavor, there are individuals for whom the scope of their involvement and the depth of their participation makes them a unique participant in events of historical importance. Such was the case with John Walker Barriger III (1899-1976), whose many significant roles in the American railroad industry over almost a half century from the 1920s into the 1970s not only made him one of this century’s most important railroad executives, but which also permitted him to participate in and witness at close hand the enormous changes which took place in railroading over the course of his career. For many men, simply to participate in the decisions and events such as were part of John Barriger’s life would have been enough.

    Railway Tunnel Caves in Killed in a Wreck AFTER the MONON

    January 16, 1900 The Fort Wayne News Railway Tunnel Caves In BEDFORD, Ind.. Jan. 16.—The Owensburg tunnel of the B. & B. branch of the Monon railroad, near this city, which was being repaired from a cave-in a short time ago, caved in again yesterday, catching five men, one of whom, Otis Noel, is supposed to be fatally hurt. The Monon officials, among whom are General Superintendent C. K. Lowell, arrived yesterday afternoon and have gone to the scene of the trouble. They will remain until the tunnel is repaired. August 7, 1900 The Fort Wayne Evening Sentinel Killed in a Wreck Chicago, Aug. 7,—George K. Lowell, general superintendent of the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville railroad (Monon route) gives out the following official account of the wreck on the road which occurred at South Raub this morning: "The southbound Monon passenger train No. 3, leaving Lafayette at 12:40 this (Tuesday) morning collided with a light engine at South Raub, ten miles south of Lafayette. James Hudlow, fireman of the passenger, was instantly killed. Henry Whitside, engineer of the passenger scalded, and Freight Brakeman Eugene McCool bruised. These were all the casualties. None of the passengers was injured as the cars did not leave the track." August 7, 1900 The Fort Wayne Evening Sentinel AFTER THE MONON Indianapolis Journal: "It has been currently reported in New York financial circles that J. P. Morgan & Co. have sold their holdings in the Monon railroad to the Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt interests. Such rumors are not new, but they come this time with more than the usual authenticity, and some credence is being given them.

  • W.W. Embree Dekalb, Illinois

    W.W. Embree Dekalb, Illinois

    Inventory of the W.W. Embree DeKalb, Illinois Collection In the Regional History Center RC 2 1 INTRODUCTION Mrs. Waite Embree and Mr. George D. Embree donated the Waite W. Embree Collection to the Regional History Collections of the University Archives in March 1967. Northern Illinois University Archivist J. Joseph Bauxar and history Professor Earl Hayter brought this collection to the University, thus preserving the single most significant group of historical records documenting the heritage of the DeKalb area. In the spring of 1978 Mr. Bauxar transferred the collection to the Regional History Center. Property rights in the collection are held by the Regional History Center; literary rights are dedicated to the public. There are no restrictions to the collection. Linear feet of shelf space: 63.50 Number of Containers: 74 + 18 notebooks Northern Illinois Regional History Center Collection 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT Waite W. Embree and his father, Elmer E. Embree, preserved most of the historical materials generated by the family’s business and social activities. Waite, especially, collected a large volume of printed materials and photographs that relate to his main interests--the history of DeKalb and the history of railroading. It is important to note that Embree was a collector: indeed, in the absence of an active county historical society, Waite Embree filled a void in DeKalb County with his keen interest in the preservation of the county’s past for many decades. In keeping with the agreement concerning the donation of the collection to the University the integrity of arrangement by Embree has been respected whenever possible.
