CHICAGO HEAVY RAIL
Skyline Becomes More

Toward the end of the embankment portion of the right
of way, our inbound train now affords a much clearer picture of much of
the downtown skyline. In the early 1960s the western end of the
CTA Garfield Park line was raised from street level with grade crossings
to run alongside the Chicago and Northwestern on the wide embankment in
this area. I have vague memories of the old route. And
general memories of that era with two-man crews and conductors collecting fares from passengers
boarding at the lesser stations. |
