Author: chitownjeff Southbound at Dolton Jct first two tracks are the B&O to and from Barr Yard second two are the IHB to and from Riverdale Yard, second train looks to be the "heights train" with auto parts for the Ford plant in Ford Heights (once known as East Chicago Heights) and auto racks possibly for "Char" which I believe it stood for Chicago Heights Auto Ramp.

Second train might be the CHTT to NS 81st Ford run. Lots of box cars, including the soon-to-be-extinct long autoparts cars. These are aging out fairly quickly. A lot of frames are now made in Mexico, so the SB frame flats have me curious. Classic.

Author: Soot4Life 0:41 of the first video shows two circular gizmos attached to a structure apparently leaning against a signal stand . Would someone enlighten me and tell me what those are please?
