Great photo, Rich.  I just a wee lad when that was taken.  I was six when my folks took me and my brother to see the worlds fair in Chicago.  I kept gazing at locomotives and trains while my parents went on towards other things.  Richard came running up to me and saved me from being lost.  Sure wish this map continued further south and west.  <A href="http://chicago.urban-history.org/dist/loop/chicago1.pdf" target=_blank>http://chicago.urban-history.org/dist/loop/chicago1.pdf</A> Did you notice the Tribune map said depot number 3 serviced the Panhandle but it doesn't show the Panhandle's route to the depot?  Some sources say the Panhandle wanted to use the Milwaukee's route next to the Northwestern, and other sources said the Milwaukee wanted to use the Panhandle's route along side the Northwestern.  It came from the south and went up the west side of Western because Western was the Chicago's city limit so land on the west side wasn't subject to Chicago's charges. I sure like old maps and pictorial photos. Art
