I think that the area under Roosevelt Road is known as the Canal St. Wye / Union Avenue Junction. I don't know that with any great certainty, but it is a possibility.
I was actually at this area a few days ago. It looks a lot different now than it did back in October of 97. I have a couple of videos of stuff in that area, so please view them if you'd like.
What is the name of this interlocking? I was in Chicago for the first time a few weeks ago and spent about an hour in this same place. I may try to model this interlocking in HO. Maybe...
Great video! Lots of action. Is that Roosevelt Road you're standing on to capture the footage? And at :48, what kind of locomotive is that pushing the METRA train into the station? Are they still in operation? I rarely see them any longer. Still, a nice job was done here! This is a keeper!
Thanks. I had to check on Google Maps, cause it was many years ago and my first visit to the city, but yes it is Roosevelt Rd. The loco is F40PHM-2 #191, which according to a roster Web site was built between 1991-1992. I can't say for sure if the F40PHM-2s are still running, because I haven't been back there in about 8 years. Anyone else know?
Yes They are still in operation actually lots of them are metra suplies alot of lines with the engines so it depends on wich line you will see them at . the metra you see pushing the engine is called A : F40PH
Sorry, don't know the name. It was my first time there, and I haven't been back since. Any of the locals know?

You might want to try Google Earth. The entire Chicago rail system is shown in great detail. I may use it as a model for a future layout.
