Modern Urban Chicago

[FCIN]

Kurt is right. The Chicago Northside Switching Operations web site has all sorts of inspiration on it. As for short lines currently operating in the Chicago area, don't forget the Chicago Terminal Railroad. http://www.iowapacific.net/chicago-termi...lroad.html They operate in a lot of very interesting areas around Chicago, especially the N. Lakewood Ave - N. Kingsbury St areas (some of which has now been abandoned).
