I just remembered that I had borrowed a neighbor's "Sauganash: A Historical Perspective" book, which contains direct references to the Mayfair/Weber line and its station at Peterson Avenue. It states as follows: "The track that was located on the east side of the Sauganash Park community was called the Weber line and ran from downtown Chicago to Evanston, where it joined the main north-south line. Passenger service was between downtown Chicago and the Peterson Avenue station by the Sauganash Park community. There were no station buildings, only a wooden platform was provided at [the station]. On weekdays there were two passenger trains in the morning and two in the evening." The tracks were elevated in 1931. All passenger service ended on December 1, 1958. An account I read on northeshoreline.com states that the station was still present in the early 1960's. Though the stairs are gone now, it is obvious where they used to be. No evidence of a platform exists to the naked eye.
