Chicago Tribune is running this look at the Chicago Tribune.  The first few photos show the Milwaukee Road double track line going past the stadium as well as a boxcar on the team track and coal hoppers at the Collins and Weise Coal Company along Clark.

The Cubs themselves were a customer of the Milwaukee Road, receiving among other things loads of bats by rail-no doubt from Louisville!
