Found more great pics on David Wilson\'s Flickr photostream.  Don\'t think anyone posted these yet.

David has tons of cool Chicago pics. Interesting to see how much the city has changed.  Of course, lots of railroad pics too.

Very cool.  The city was more interesting back then in terms of rail operations, wasn\'t it?  

I just parked in the lot that is now where the track and train ran in this photo.  Most of the tracks were still intact east of Michigan Avenue and out to Navy Pier as late as 1984 but no longer in use.  I have photos of them elsewhere on the chicagoswitching.com website.
