I'm from New Jersey and have been transplanted into the midwest. I have ridden all the CTA rail lines, and now have some questions:
First, on the Brown/Purple Lines north of the Merchandise Mart station, there is a curve to the west. The elevated structure at that point appears to have the remnants of a line that went east from the Brown/Purple Lines. Was there a line from this point which was abandoned and demolished?
Second, there is a wide spot north/west of the Sedgwick station, right about at Halsted St. If there were a station here at one time, when was it closed/demolished?
Third, the elevated structure north of the Merchandise Mart station appears to have held four tracks at one time. What additional service, if any, was there which used the two tracks that were removed? When were the two other tracks removed?
Thanks in advance for the information.
