Remember that rare view of Indiana Ave. Now move 15 years ahead and Indiana Ave. has triple tracks, an express track down the middle, branches going to Kenwood and the Stockyards. The trackage has been raised to cross the elevated Chicago Junction railroad. The new powerhouse has been extended to take up the entire block from 39th to 40th. Both curves have been doubled to 200 ft. radius to speed service. The city permitted the third track over the alleyway. The L had to remove all ground station buildings. The express operation was known as the fastest in the nation, even beating out New York City. Photo Credit: CTA Collection.
