Aban/C&NW Mayfair Yard

(Satellite, some of the reuse has been for residential buildings)

Note that Mayfair (CO) Tower was northwest of the yard.

It looks like the south side of the yard along Berteau Avenue had team tracks. The team tracks and the classification yard along the west side was redeveloped as homes. The center and the other classification yard has become Koch Foods. Judging by the trailers parked at the building, they do a lot of shipping and/or receiving. But, even though they are right next to a railroad, they have no rail service.

Paul Musselman posted four ca. 2006 photos of what is left on the west side of this yard. He follows the remaining Cragin line from the south to the north were it merges with the UP/C&NW NW mainline.
