Chicago Terminal and Goos Island and abandonment
« on: October 12, 2017, 11:47:51 PM »
Here is the link to the adverse abandonment filed by Alloy. Interesting read, contains information about the cost of leasing the locomotives, the customers on line (or lack of) and pictures. Caution: this is a large PDF.

Thanks Doug. Impressive document.
Most of the maps were atypically accurate and they appear to have hired a professional photographer.

I visited Chicago last weekend, but only got a brief look at the Chicago Terminal trackage during a rainy twilight and couldn't see much. I spotted their engine parked in the North Avenue yard.

I'll be most surprised if any of those tracks are still passable, let alone extant, come this time next year.
