Rutland's Chicago docking facility

Does the Map of the Month's Great Lakes Docks in Trains March 2004 issue include that of Rutland RR's at Chicago in Lake Michigan?
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?

Wonderful, ain't it? The Central Gummint saved us from World domination by the evil Rutland Railroad. If anyone anywhere knows this bit of info, I'd bet the Rutland historical/technical society guys do.
Maybe Bob Nimke would know; he knows about everything else Rutland-wise, if he still is among the living. I have some of his "60 Years of Trying" series, but I don't recall anything about terminal arrangements on the west side of the lake.
