I have found two online sources for the 1915 Smoke Abatement Report:
I used to think the .pdf copy was a better scan. But I have discovered that the eBook did a better job with photos. I include copies from both sources for a map so that you can judge which is better. I enlarged both images until they began to show pixels. The .pdf indicated 150%. I could not get a percentage for the eBook, but I would say it was also around 150%.
You probably need to click and image and then save to disk and use a photo viewer to access the full resolution stored by the blog server.
I could not find a key for this map in the report so I made my own:
- 1: C&NW: Erie Street Yard suburban
- 2: Milwaukee Western Ave. Yard
- 3: C&NW: California Yard intercity and suburban, now just suburban
- 4: Pennsy, today the land is used by Amtrak
- 5: B&OCT, Lincoln Street Yard was built after this map was drawn in 1915. [Bob Lalich comment on a post]
- 6: CB&Q, intercity and suburban, now just suburban
- 7: Illinois Central (IC, MC for a while, and Big Four)
- 8: Santa Fe
- 9: GM&O/Alton/Chicago & Alton Brighton Park Yard
- 10: NYC Root Street Yard
- 11: Rock Island 49th Street Yard
- 12: C&WI, which handled coaches for its five owners: Erie, Monon, GTW, Wabash, and C&EI
- way down south: NKP CalumetYard
The remaining images are from the eBook.
