Deering Line Remains Resurface

[TBurke]

Construction for a new private school alongside the North Branch of the Chicago River and Webster Street reveals quite a few remains of the Deering Line.  This construction site stretches from Webster northwest to the Ashland Avenue overpass.  Heaps of rails and ties are spread across the dirt.  This site was inaccessible for years.  You can get pictures from the Webster bridge or from the front gate area across from where Dominick dead ends at Webster.

So this school is going where all the truck trailers are?

Yes, that\'s the spot.  The trailers are all gone, and earth moving equipment has been used on the site already.
