Re: (erielack) CWI entering downtown chicago

[TrainGG1_@_aol.com]

Walter:

The CWI (Hammond branch) crosses the Dan Ryan Expressway just north of 91st 
St. There are three sets of tracks/bridges. From south-to-north: Chicago Rail 
Link (ex-Rock Island South Chicago Branch); CWI (which I understand is leased 
to NS) and BRC.

If you get off the expressway (at 91st) and head west, there is an angular 
street (Holland Rd) which heads off the the NW. The street (which once ran 
through to 87th) ends abruptly at the CRL (ex-ROCK). Immediatly to the north is the 
C&WI bridge over Holland Rd. Visible in the distance (to the right) is the 
BRC.

Hope this helps.
