Yes, that is what I remember reading too. Thanks much for the information. Paul August [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cnw8835 Its working as far as I can see it. C&NWs predecesor layed a second track to the present City of Chicago limits in the 1850's. All of the stations had been built on the north side of the tracks to help keep the stations warmer in winter. The second track was built on the south side because of the station location. Inbound morning trains were then run on the north track so that passengers could remain inside the station in the winter until the train was almost right at the station. European investors at the time would not risk their money in such an "uncivilized place" Hope this helps [/quote]
