Chicago Sangamon branch 2 Jun 98
A pair of June 1998 shots looking down the short Burlington branch alongside Sangamon Street in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood- this one looks north from Cullerton. This trackage has now been removed.
This trackage connected the mainline to the Lumber District trackage at Cermak. At this datet it was still in use- but I've only ever seen one photo of a train along this stretch- hopefully someone out there has some (hint).
I also found this fascinating 1914 accident report involving a CB&Q freight and a Chicago streetcar at the Sangamon / 22nd St. intersection: books.google.com/books?id=m2EaAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA256&d...
