Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but what appears to be one large yard
complex in the middle of the map at the bottom is actually 2 different
railroads. The CNW and Milwaukee tracks paralleled each other out of downtown,
and crossed each other at what is now Metra (former Milwaukee) Tower A2. The
portion that tilts northwest-southeast is the former Milwaukee Western Avenue
yard, and the east-west portion is the former CNW (coach)yard.
The very large yard complex further west of there at bottom left was a CNW
freight yard. I think.
