Hegewisch: (Satellite, since the SC&S has been abandoned north of here, the northern wye connection is also abandoned.)
A 2013 d.w.davidson Flickr photo of the Calumet Western Junction where the Calumet Western joins the Calumet River.
The Hegewisch Junction is where the Calumet River joined the SC&S (Bernice Cutoff). [Ian Contreras' comment on his Flickr, ChicagoRailfan]

Looking at a satellite map, the SC&S north of Hegewisch Junction has been abandoned. So the north leg of the wye at the junction has also been abandoned. I found a topo map that shows where the tracks used to be.
