Posted by ChicagoPCCLCars on Mon Nov 30 19:31:15 2020, in response to Chicago CTA Is Running Its HOLIDAY TRAIN, posted by ChicagoPCCLCars on Mon Nov 30 13:04:21 2020. Last in, first out. The 2020 version of the Holiday Train wastes no time at terminals. Heard over the radio the crew proudly boasts, "Same thing as last year...We've got this." With no passengers, windows frosted, Santa on the flat car with air brakes, HT departs Cottage Grove headed to Harlem, named after Harlem, NY.A historical fact....about the land discussion. When the 'L' was built, in 1893, there was a thoroughbred racing track named "Washington Park, 61st to 63rd, Cottage Grove to South Park. It was served by an Illinois Central siding. In 1883, the American Derby was second richest race. In 1905, the state stopped all racing. Apartments and business were soon built where the racetrack stood. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CIPB5yRJHCf/ David Harrison |
