| Dennis DeBruler commented on the above share So that curved connection used to have more than one track. And the Western Avenue corridor used to have a small yard instead of trees on its west side. I've seen a few photos of trains on this connection leaving Grand Central Station. But this is the first one I have seen of a train heading to the station. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8630471,-87.6874273,204m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu Bob Lalich: Dennis DeBruler - the yard in the background was PRR's 16th St Yard. It was used for servicing the local industries and for interchange with Soo Line and CGW. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Bob's comment Thanks. I had forgotten that the Pennsy panhandle used that route to access the north side of Union Station. And I've never seen a name for that yard before. That area certainly used to have a lot of industry. 1953 Englewood Quad @ 24,000 |
