Chicago Transparent Products

[SlowFreight]

Did anybody else notice that the spur for Chicago Transparent Products seems to be gone?  I was looking on Google Earth, and I don\'t know if they\'re still in business but I definitely didn\'t see any track in the photo.

There is a residential developmet in the area now. I know the spur was gone as of last year along with the building. I saw it from ground level last summer. I was on site.

The name sounds familiar,but where was it located?

Those photos from Tom Burke were taken weeks before they removed the spur.  So they been gone since early \'03.

Cway,
here is a link to google maps showing where this spur was located:

The spur ran through the middle of that parking lot, or rather the parking lot was probably built around the track.

Thanks for the update.

I didn\'t notice it before, but if you look at Peerless in that image, the CP switcher is actually on the plant spur when the photo was taken.
