? on Rutland's Chicago docking facility

Posted by DenWoz on Tuesday, April 30, 2002 10:40 PM

Before the Panama Canal Act of 1915 prohibited the Rutland RR to own, operate, or control any waterway in the Great Lakes, the Rutland Transit Company and its predecessor waterway shipping enterprises served Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Chicago from Ogdensburg, NY. At which Chicago port facility on Lake Michigan did the Rutland Transit Co. terminate? Did any of them own any docking facility there?
