View from the Ashland Ave. drawbridge looking west towards the C&NW's North Line and the City of Chicago facility. The Milwaukee Road's Deering Line ran across this location at Medill St. If you look at the center of the photo, by the concrete silos in the background, you can make out the bridge through which the Milwaukee Road ran to reach industries in the Deering Industrial District. Multiple industries once served by the Milwaukee Road's Deering Line were located in this section between the C&NW North Line and Webster St. All are gone now.mk_medillfacility_1991_02

Finkl Steel's spur which was reached off the Deering Line by the Milwaukee Road in Dominick St. Today Dominick St. is paved over and the area is inaccessible to the public in the area of the Finkl plant. CP Rail uses part of the old Deering Line as a tail track to reach the Finkl plant which still receives several gondolas of scrap steel each week. It's the last operating part of the old Deering Line!mk_strawberry_1991_03
