Overview map

[GM]

Any plans of this site coming up with an overview map for the Lakewood/Deering portion like you have for Kingsbury and Goose Island? That would be great. Thanks.

Yes indeed.  It\'s been a busy year for me and some of the updates I planned to do this summer I still haven\'t started yet!

Thanks for being patient.

Do you have a list of companies served on Goose Island per the 1970 overview map from the Chicago Historical Society? Would it be the same businesses showing on your interactive map, including the animal processing plant off of Blackhawk St., Waste Paper Management and the team track area. Any other businesses that might have been served?

Also, the tracks that ran beyond Division St.were down Cherry St. and Hooker St. only? Did any run down Hickory at that time or North Branch St.?

Look for a special edition of The Milwaukee Railroader magazine this summer which will cover in great detail the Chicago Terminal Lines of the Milwaukee Road.  Goose Island is covered.
