General Discussion / Clybourn Avenue question
« on: March 17, 2009, 01:03:36 PM »
Hi,
I\'m new to this forum. This is a great site with a wealth of fascinating information. I was travelling by taxi last night (3/16/09)around 6pm heading north/northwest? on Clyboun Avenue. Maybe a block or two north of the Goose Island Brewery there is a spur track that crosses Clybourn from some street trackage.The track terminates at an industry on the west side of Clybourn behind a chain link fence and there was a gondola parked at the insustry. I haven\'t been down Clybourn in a while but I had never noticed this track before. Does anybody know what the insustry is and how does the track that leads there connect to North Avenue yard? Is this industry switched by the Chicago Terminal RR? I didn\'t realize there was any intact trackage north of North Avenue. Quite honestly all the angled streets in that area can be confusing.
