Milwaukee Road Historical Association-Milwaukee Road Railroad C&E Line Lakewood @ Diversey Peerless Confectionery Chicago Sep. 1980
The original Milwaukee Road photo album section that included this photo was headed "Chgo Term C&E Dist. Sept 80"
This view looks south along Lakewood with the spur to Peerless Confectionery on the left and the spur to the Continental Baking on the right.
In September and October of 1980 the Milwaukee Road did a photographic survey of its Chicago Terminal lines as part of an assessment of which ones to abandon and which ones to keep. The lines that they inspected and documented were the Chicago & Evanston (C&E), the Deering Line, Goose Island, and the Dunning Line.
The photos, diagrams, memos, and more were rescued by the Milwaukee Road Historical Association (MRHA) in the early 2000s from the former Milwaukee Road Galewood freight yard office which was going to be demolished for a new residential development. The developer gave access to the MRHA to retrieve the priceless historical documents and photos some of which have appeared in various articles of mine in The Milwaukee Railroader, the Chicago Switching website, and on Flickr.
