Missing Track at South End of Kingsbury?
« on: June 03, 2009, 06:47:26 PM »
When was the track that extended south past Kingsbury Street and almost to Division Street removed and/or paved over?  It was the location where the gondola was placed in the recent past during the firewood move.

I\'m surprised Chicago Terminal allowed it-or maybe they are unaware that the adjoining property owner is now using it.  Even if the land underneath was sold Chicago Terminal should have still retain an easement as this stretch was not abandoned and was part of the tracks that were conveyed by CP to Chicago Terminal according to their map.

It eliminates another \"cool\" place for Chicago Terminal to park some freight cars as well as a possible transload site.

I noticed this about 2 weeks ago.  It may have been there much earlier, though, as I don\'t get down that way much.
