Northwest Station yesterday and today
The Spring 2023 issue of First & Fastest magazine has an article I wrote on the history of Commonwealth Edison's electric railway operation at the Northwest Station power plant (located at Addison & California) This is one of the extra images that couldn't fit in that article.
This composite image shows where the transformer and switch house remnants that I photographed in 1990 stood relative to the power plant as a whole. Both views look north from near the corner of California and Roscoe. Today a new ComEd office building stands on this part of the site.
Check out the album for related photos and maps.
