This photo shows the old C&E station at roughly Montrose Avenue, with Graceland Cemetery in the background.

This is the Buena Yard where the Milwaukee Road and the Chicago Rapid Transit interchanged freight cars.

Today the Buena Yard and the interchange tracks are replaced by Challenger Park, a linear park starting at Grace and going up towards almost Irving Park Road. The park is named after the former Challenger space shuttle.
