<P mce_keep="true">Rich, the link below shows a bridge at about a 45 degree angle Station between Taylor and 12th leading to the Grand Central Station. </P> <P mce_keep="true"><A href="http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/su/maps/chi1900/G4104-C6A15-1905-C5.html">http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/su/maps/chi1900/G4104-C6A15-1905-C5.html</A></P> <P mce_keep="true">No luck on finding a map that extends further south. That map is based on many Sanborn maps. Insurance companies used them a lot because of the detail. Each map covered a limited area.</P> <P mce_keep="true">These maps can be purchased but are in some libraries, the Chicago Public Library for one. Browse the internet for more.</P> <P mce_keep="true">When I lived in Poughkeepsie NY, I would train down to NYC and visit their library. They would let me look at old railroad Guides that were so old the pages would shatter when turned! If I had been in control, I wouldn't let a yokel like me anywhere close to those things!</P> <P mce_keep="true">Have you tried visiting the Chicago Library?</P> <P mce_keep="true">Art</P>
