Deering Line Dominick at McLean Chicago Spring 1991
The Milwaukee Road cut the Deering Line back from Fullerton Avenue all the way to Webster in 1984 then to McLean, leaving just enough track to serve as a tail when switching Finkl Steel which is in the background. The Deering Line connected to the C&E Line in Kingsbury and was a branch line of a branch line.
The view below shows this area after the street was rebuilt and the remaining Deering Line trackage shortened with the switch and spur shown above eliminated. A CP Rail crew is working Finkl in the background below.
