Super cool!! The station looms, imposing and moody. Wish there were a shot looking south toward Irving Park; I wonder how far north of Irving MILW locomotives would get.

The Milwaukee Road engines would work the Buena Yard up to where it became single track to go up the CTA ramp. There was a story where a MILW engine became derailed and a CTA electric engine helped rerail it. The overhead wires extended all the way to Irving Park.
