Tom,

I worked Congress Park in the early 70s on the Congo. Heard stories that I'm wondering if you can confirm or refute ?

I was told more than once,when the Harbor shoved up the North Wye,with the big night deliveries,back in the day,that the man on the lead car controlled the air and therefore the movement with fishing line. What say you ?

Congress Park tower was was on the north side, the interchange with the IHB in the Congress Park section of Brookfield.

We received cars from the IHB and had a small yard to make up west bound trains.

Did have a small passenger station. on the South side.  I don't remember Hollywood.

Long arm switching between all 3 main lines either direction.  Tom

Welcome Tom,
I grew up in Brookfield just north of the Prairie Ave station. I remember the Hollywood and Congress Park stations. Can you remind me where the Congress Park tower was at? I was a little tyke in the 50's with my earliest memories from around '58.
