Tom Burke Chicago C&E South Line Kingsbury Huron Kingsbury 1992
The last train from Wallace Business Forms to the south passed by a year earlier. On the left is the former Chicago & Evanston (C&E) South Line which at one time extended south across the Chicago River on a swing bridge, reaching Milwaukee Road tracks leading into Union Station.
The northern end of the C&E went all the way into Willamette where there was a passenger depot. Later the Milwaukee Road turned over freight and passenger operations to the Chicago Rapid Transit north of Montrose Avenue.
By this date tracks had been cut back to Grand Avenue.
The pair of tracks on the left served as runaround tracks for the Milwaukee Road and later SOO Line crews to position loads and empties for Wallace.
The track on the far right serviced the Montgomery Ward R&D department.
