Black Rock. 100 miles west of Chicago, near La Salle. 111. The train approaches and passes through the tunnel: it has hardly passed through the tunnel and around the curve, when another train is seen rapidly approaching on the farther side of the tunnel. Clear and sharp it approaches closely and seems as if it would pass through the tunnel, but just as it is apparently about to do so it turns to the side and passes around it. The train is lost to sight for a moment behind the giant rocks and then appears again at full speed heading for the camera, passing it with lightning speed. Trains on the westbound tracks pass through the tunnel, eastbound trains on river bank around and outside the bluff. Written by Selig catalog See less
