Re: Dekalb Avenue track map, pre rebuild

The link to the diagram showing the proprosed window drawing, of a part of the southbound track arrangement (north* of Dekalb); the trackway that replaced the southbound Myrtle platform, extends north (the bold line), to join both the southbound track from the Loop and Broadway (pre-Chrystie).

I was told, during one of my first fantrips, mid 60s, that this trackway continuing north from the track that replaced the Mrytle platform was built, specifically to aid access for the Dekalb reconstruction project and was left in place afterwards. This person (didn't know him) drew a diagram for me, showing this continuing trackway connecting from the southbound Loop track only. Is this trackway still there, and if so, is it used for any revenue service?

*I'm not entirely clear about how RR north or south is determined, so the "north/ south" designations here may not be correct.
