Aerial view - Chicago terminus - McGillicutty - 08-21-2012

Wow, I was panning around looking for rooftops I could steal when I came across this facility! Neat stuff. Anybody know more about it? It looks like some kind of terminus station for a Chicago commuter line. It's located here...
1819 West Juneway Terrace, Chicago, IL

If I did my calcs and math correctly, those tighter radius work out to be 7.5 in N scale and 13.7 in HO scale.

That's just Northwest of the Howard St stop. If I'm going into Chicago ( that rarely happens, but Tall Ships Chicago was one good excuse for making the trip ) I'll drive to Evanston, and catch the "El" at Davis street. That goes right past/through this location. $5.00 parking in Evanston, and $5.00 RT ticket on the El,..... works for me! Wink Smile
Gas, and Parking in Chicago? :o Eek :o doesn't.
