Thanks much. Craig Hanson Vay, Idaho Date: 05/02/26 22:23 Re: Ride The "L" Train to Downtown Chicago 1950's Author: inCHI Neat video! A note about the first 90 seconds - that southbound is on the one main that has overhead catenary for freight service. At Wilson, you can see that it's a gauntlet track by that point and the rightward rails go down a ramp to street level where some freight customers were.
