Normantown Junction.
Title:  Normantown Junction.
Description:  Though not actually a junction since 1985, Normantown holds host to this southbound CN manifest with 45 cars, bound for Joliet. At one time this was the junction with the old EJ&E Aurora branch as well as the passing nearby Aurora Plainfield & Joliet Railroad, an electric interurban abandoned in August 1924.
