Final Years of the Union Pacific (CNW) Weber-Mayfair Sub I

By the way all the tracks are gone on this branch. Hopefully we can save it as a bike trail.

Neat GP15! Did any manifests (not locals) used to run on this line?

[ericb007]

@METX611 A long, long time ago. Probably in the 1950s.

I grew up only a couple of blocks from the crossing at Bryn Mawr Avenue. CTC ended just south of that point at River Junction. The line north from Mayfair split. One line went north towards Evanston and the west branch north to Skokie. I used to watch them switch the long gone Material Service yard located between Bryn Mawr and Rogers Avenue.

@Elodea Thanks so much for sharing those memories.

nice capture of a lost rail line

@gweepypig you're welcome. Glad I could help preserve something of the line's history.

No, just lousy importing. I hope to get around to it some year. Meanwhile, please help spread the word about the video. We need more video of the Weber and Skokie subdivisions for all to see.
