1959 Aerial View of Milwaukee Road's C&E Line at Kinzie and Kingsbury
« on: January 07, 2016, 03:18:51 PM »
Historic photo of the southern end of the Milwaukee Road's Chicago & Evanston (C&E) branch line in Chicago.  It shows the unique bobtail swing bridge used to span the North Branch of the Chicago River.

Note the C&NW locomotive coming off the Carroll Avenue bascule bridge on the west end. 

It shows an interesting connection on the west side of the river to the C&NW.  I do not believe it was an official interchange point.

Looks like construction has started on the Ohio/Ontario ramp to and from the Northwest Expressway (later renamed the Kennedy Expressway).
