That Mysterious, Stranded Boxcar at Charles Levy 1200 N. North Branch Street Goose Island Chicago Circa 1989
For years this boxcar sat on a spur alongside the Charles Levy Circulating (on the left) building at 1200 N. North Branch on Goose Island after its connection was paved over. I never knew if the Milwaukee Road simply lost track of it or Levy bought the boxcar and used to for storage. On the right was the former Druth Packaging Company which had a spur enter the building.
Amazingly part of that isolated spur alongside the old Levy building is still visible from Google Satellite view in the gravel of the parking lot of the beer distributorship that occupies the site now.
Charles Levy was a distributor of magazines to Chicago area retailers including supermarkets. It relocated to Melrose Park.
