I'm thinking he was referring to the parking lot just to the east of the tracks 
where Metra unloads. That's the area this track would have been. I think we all 
have written an email or two that wasn't as concise to what we were thinking. 
So now we know the location. As stated there hasn't been street level tracks 
through this area in decades.
