Title: Erie Railroad Carfloat Operations in Chicago, 1920

Hi,

Can't find much on the Erie on Chicago's northside, but of all things here's a video:

Hi Matt-

It says it is a private video on YouTube and cannot be accessed. 

The Erie actually had two different carfloat connections on the North Side, one at Erie Street (coincidentally) with the Milwaukee Road off Kingsbury Street then another connection to the C&NW farther upstream at Webster.
