Title: Morton Salt and Chicago Tribune updates
Post by: cnwnorthline on January 16, 2018, 04:42:19 PM

Hello

Looks like the iconic Morton Salt roof will be preserved.

Not rail served but kind of cool.

In other news something big might happen near the Chicago Tribune Land.  From the pictures the rails look cut off near the bridge but can't tell for sure or fully understand what the plan exactly is:

You're not going to be able to recognize much of this are soon!
