No, the North Water Terminal was a genuine rapid transit stub, built by the Northwestern Elevated and used by CRT and early CTA for rush-hour overflow North Side service. I believe it last saw revenue service in 1949, but remained in place into the Sixties. It extended just two blocks, from Clark Street to the North Side Main at Wells, and never had its own river crossing.Alan Follett Hercules, CA |
