I recall this as Illinois Central's connection to its Iowa line through Broadview. As a kid, I would ride the Land 'O Corn and Hawkeye into Central Station from northern Illinois on this line. It would curve pass the corner of a building (seemed like you could reach out and touch it) into the station. IC freights from Iowa would move to Markham yard on this route. I think this line is scheduled to be removed as the city redevelops the area.
