Title: Proof Bloomingdale Line still in use!
Post by: GM on January 29, 2007, 07:49:14 PM

See the link to the following photo. Proof that the Bloomingdale Line is still in use! Take a look at the middle right area of the picture, you can see a live red signal in effect. Check out the remarks area verifying the picture was taken on the Bloomingdale line thought to be abandoned. Photo was taken this month and year! Too bad it wasn\'t a train bound for the Kingsbury/Goose Island/Lakewood Lines like in the past. Then again who knows what the future holds. Never say never.

CP Rail uses the westernmost end of the Bloomingdale Line for freight car storage.  I have photos of cars up there with a caboose on the end.
