Jon Roma On the Chicago & North Western line to Crystal Lake and Madison, WI, just west of Clybourn. Today, the Kennedy Expressway lies to the left of this image.
William Shapotkin Unless it has been removed, there are still a pair of switch betw the W/B main and the express (center) track at this location -- still called "Wood St." That xover is controlled by CY Tower.
