cool updates coming this week
« on: November 08, 2010, 02:01:43 PM »
Every day this week, we will be posting an article with rare photos that were taken by the Milwaukee Road in a 1980 Chicago lines abandonment study.  These photos were discovered in 2004 while clearing out the Galewood Yard offices.  The MRHA has given us permission to post.

Here is our schedule:

Tuesday:  Dunning Line
Wednesday:  Deering Line
Thursday:  C&E North (Lakewood)
Friday:  C&E South (Kingsbury)
Saturday: Goose Island

Thanks to Tom Burke for scanning them, in addition to writing great captions.

The Dunning Line photo series is up.  This kicks off the expansion of our site into this area.

Tomorrow, the Deering Line.  Tell your friends!

C&E Line North (Lakewood Branch) photos are up.  This is my favorite set.

The shot of the C&E crossing @ Lincoln Ave. is fantastic.  It looks pretty much exactly as I picture it every time I pedal thru there on my bike though I\'d also love to see it decades earlier too. Wow has the city changed..  Thanks for posting.
