The route, astonishingly, had some operation <i>on private right-of-way</i> (which I endeavored to shoot six years ago - ask about the photographs).<br /><b>Do you have access to a scanner?</b> I have a AAA map from <b>1995</b> which strove to include <b>all the freight railroad stubs</b> in the metropolitan Chicago area, including those which I <b>know</b> are now gone [Cermak Rd.]. As such, these may be more accurate than the maps upon which you are relying upon. <i>Please contact me.</i>Steve D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12337124618723219550noreply@blogger.com
