Coming Soon...New South Side and Southwest Side Coverage For Chicago Switching
« on: January 04, 2012, 04:59:20 PM »
I have it confirmed by Tom Mann that he will be adding a section on the South Side and Southwest Sides to chicagoswitching.com.  Look for new articles, including a feature on the Chicago Stockyards Industrial Park rail operations today.

Awesome!!!
I've always been curious about the area from 35th to Pershing and Ashland to Racine.
Looks like there was some pretty cool trackage in that area years ago!

Look forward to the update!!

Chuck-

You are in luck.  The first article we will be posting covers the nearby Stockyards Industrial Area from 47th north to Pershing, and Ashland east to Halsted in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.  There are still four active rail customers in the Stockyards. 

We will also be posting photos from part of the Central Manufacturing District in the Bridgeport neighborhood which contains the tracks you mentioned.
