I discovered there is a second "River Junction" in Chicago. But the proper name for that junction is River Branch Junction.

You sure as heck would not recognize this location today -- this is "River Junction" (Tower RS). Located at what would otherwise be known the intersection of Bryn Mawr/Kostner Ave in Chicago, this is where the C&NW "Valley Line" (veering off to left) and "Weber Line" (veering off to right) split. View looks north.
Roger Wilhelmi The last time I ran a train here was about '87 or '88. The trees and bushes were encroaching on the right of way quite a bit then. I think the track from Valley south was cut at Skokie in the early '90s?? Whatever the case, this picture has no semblance of familiarity to me whatsoever.
Ken Rehor The Valley Line is a trail. https://www.traillink.com/trail/valley-line-trail/ I don't see any info about the other portion.

Dennis DeBruler I discovered there is a second "River Junction" in Chicago that has the alternate name River Branch Junction.https://www.google.com/.../@41.7166929,-87.../data=!3m1!1e3

Bob Lalich River Branch Jct is the correct name for the junction of the Calumet River RR and the ex-PRR Ft Wayne line.

Back on October 21, 2018, I posted a photo of "River Junction" (Tower RS) on the C&NW. It was located at what would otherwise be known the intersection of Bryn Mawr/Kostner Ave in Chicago. Well, at one time there was a suburban rail station (known as "River Junction") there. This photo (dated 1911) is courtesy of the C&NW HS Archives.
Paul M Sprenger Look at all that open land 100's of acres !

The turnout for this branch (lower-right corner) still exists. But I don't know why because the track now goes just a few hundred feet to the Wilson Ave. overpass. I would think the turnout would be the first thing UP would remove to reduce the maintenance of the Harvard Subdivision.

My 2005 SPV Map shows the Weber line still going to Devon Avenue.

You can tell by the curved parking lot boundaries and the skinny tree line that there used to be some industrial spurs south of Peterson Ave.

This branch had already been abandoned here in 2005.

Some industrial buildings that at least used to use rail service still existed in 1999 (the oldest date available in Google Earth).
