Well I just want to give kudos to thevery well written and very interesting article on the Bloomingdale Line, as it answered quite a few questions, and it peaked my interests quite a bit into the history of the line. It was very informative and just all around, what I came to love about this website.
I have a couple of suggestions or requests, if it is allright......
Would it be possible if someone could do an article about the long forgotten railroad line that used to travel down Sunnyside Ave up on the N/NW side of Chicago from Hutchinson St, up to Cullom, across Montrose, and then to Sunnyside, westbound on Sunnyside,to Forest Preserve Dirve, all the way to Franklin Park? I saw maps of it and how it used to run, but, it is so hard to find any solid information on it, at least with the sources I have at my disposal (being the internet, lol). About all I got from the maps is that it was part of the B&O CT RailRoad.
Also maybe a short article on the Dunning Line? I have seen some of the info on it on the web, and I have seen some good things posted by fellow comrades here on Forgotten Chicago, but it would be nice to see a more comprehensive look at the line, and if possible, more pictures. I know I know its asking a lot. But, just making a suggestion! :)
