Subject
Steam Locomotive
Description
The 2976 eases 78 cars of westbound drag freight through the interlocking at Beech Grove, the easternmost limit of the Indianapolis terminal area. The operator here, located in a tower behind and to the left of the camera, has the route lined from the westward to the eastward main, thence to the yard lead. Like Vine tower at Shelbyville, Beech Grove controls more than just the interlocking in the immediate vicinity. It also governs movements at the end of double track at Dix, just beyond the village of Acton, nine miles east.
