Posted by Chicagopcclcars on Thu Oct 2 21:25:36 2008, in response to Re: Addison to Sox/35th, Red Line Series (PHOTOS), posted by South Brooklyn Railway on Thu Oct 2 21:04:03 2008. Video yes...photo no. And I'm way, way behind uploading to U Tube and I've got lots of juicy stuff too. The original platform had eight entrances and seven platforms in between and a third of a platform beyond the Lake ST entrance. There were two lower level passageways over to subway number 2 that descended below. One was lost constructing the Block 37 building. Thinking was back in the 30s was that station stops could be adjusted, and maybe even doubled up if traffic level ever went that high. Many of the Loop "L" stations had 16 car length platforms so trains could berth behind each other. Probably impossible in today's age of cab signalling although you will notice "berth markers" in some of my current shots even though the State ST subway has the latest bi-directional type of cab signals and the waysides form the 40s are long gone. Note: those waysides were Chicago's first block signals. The CTA did create a new station...Lake ST making for four and stopping locations were adjusted for the other three so as to load in both directions to make it seem safer in off hours. The southern-most platform has been bricked in and used for maintenance storage. Washington is currently closed as a station.David |
