This is when the two outside tracks on the el south of the State St Portal were used by the NSL. They were unused after the 1963 abandonment of the NSL. Today the trackways are there but rails long gone.

I guess you haven't been there for awhile. Most of the outside tracks have been removed, but not all of them. You can find them at the State St Portal and Sedgewick Station...

Incorrect.......the two outside tracks are still there and they are used by the Green and the Orange lines. This shows the south incline, now not in revenue service. North this scene, the three tracks continue.

Last ride on the Northside line for me was in 2005. Did ride the pink line in 2006.

I think we are talking about the Northside line which was 4 tracks beyond the portal going toward the loop.

More specifically between Chicago Av and just S/O Armitage where the State St Subway merges with the el

Agreed...David's picture was taken at the other end, I think it is called 14th Street Portal.
