Chicago still has streetcar tracks and wooden ties under miles of streets. I remember seeing them dug up on 63rd ST at the west edge of the Dan Ryan expressway about ten years ago. That's close...about five blocks east. Then too there were the interurban tracks in west 63rd Place, 1/2 block south of 63rd. This was an off street terminal. The east-west right of way of the Englewood "L" aligned up to this half street. Then the tracks crossed Halsted ST and veered to the north to line up with the east-west alley, all the way to Loomis BLVD end of the line.David |
