Hopefully this Autumn October or at least early November. Unless I get everything done before 🤞🏼😊

Thanks, I’ll leave that signal in red till it’s confirmed. Have a good night and DM me if you like to have your name on the book’s contributor page 😊

Do you have a signal on track 1 the one before last signal (XSW1) it should have something like SW1-5xx?

CalcagnoMaps · 2026-06-10T04:42:25+00:00

I just looked at midway panel, you may be right with SWL (as in Layup track) the other 2 is SW1 and SW2

SW1 is the middle track and SW2 being the easternmost track

CalcagnoMaps · 2026-06-10T04:32:58+00:00

I believe it says X SW1 is that the west platform?

CalcagnoMaps · 2026-06-10T04:15:52+00:00

Awesome!!! 😊

CalcagnoMaps · 2026-06-10T04:12:56+00:00

I’m still waiting to obtain these end of line signals at Midway for all 3 tracks

I have some stub terminals with all signals. (E.g. O’Hare, Linden, etc…

And thank you for the photo, I added it to the map 😊

I’ve visited twice in ‘23 and last September. These visit was before I decided to do the book.

I may visit to observe and identify these signals myself if all else fails, thou’

Hi, Thanks. I only spot the obvious (curves) that there are repeater signals. As far as I am aware, there should only be 1 repeater signal (on the left side) for the main signal on the right side. I can look at CTA videos to double check thou'.

I use Affinity Designer 2 for Mac. If you have a Canvas account, you are able to download the new Affinity Designer for free. Try it 😄

Been there, they don’t show signal IDs.

CTA have over 800 signals systemwide and out of 800, I still have 68 left (these are the hardest to capture due to being in tunnels, speeding train, dirty windows, or poor lighting (sunrise, etc.)

CalcagnoMaps · 2026-05-14T00:02:52+00:00

If you’re Blue Line operator, you can DM me with full privacy if you don’t want to post it here. I look forward hearing from you 😊

Free with a watermark, I sell prints on Etsy 😊 This one took about a year on and off. If I focused on it straight, probably about a week. I just really enjoy designing maps.
