Well Steve, unless Greg has one somewhere, I have never seen it. I am remembering from when I was a kid. But I would hate to ruin it, we had power switches on a bridge over the expressway into Ohare Airport here in Chicago up until a couple of years ago. Its not the best spot for a switch, but we also have to remember, the C&H was a slow speed and short train railroad. Less likely to derail and if they did, the speed is slow enough that they can stop before bad things happen. Somewhere I have seen a view from the other side and you can see the spot where the overhang on the trestle has the switch stand. But the switch was definitely out on the bridge
