CRT Northwestern Elevated Line Poster

$30.00 – $80.00

The Northwestern Elevated opened in 1907 and ran from a terminal on North Water St before it connected to Loop. The Main Line ran north to Evanston and a branch was built to Kimball. When the Northwestern was consolidated into the Chicago Rapid Transit Commission a second branch to Skokie was connected which once allowed interurban trains to run from the Loop to Milwaukee. The Northwestern division was split into the Brown, Purple, Yellow, and Red Lines.

Chicago Track Map : Complete and Geographically Accurate

$375.00 – $500.00

The Complete and Geographically Accurate track map of Chicago is a new detailed look at the entire rail network that most riders never see. Unlike a traditional subway map which just shows train routes, stations, and a simplified geography for easier navigation, the Track Map shows how the system actually looks; each track, each switch, each station platform and each train yard is shown in a clear and clean design. While the Track Map offers a service guide it is not intended to replace the subway map as a wayfinding tool. The Track Map shows the paths of the tracks so that the viewer can see how trains are able to run. If you’ve ever wondered why certain trains don’t run to certain places this map will tell you why.

The idea behind this was to remove all distortion from traditional subway maps and see the system down to its bones. Street labels, parks, cemeteries, and airports help act as landmarks. The more complicated interchanges and interlockings are shown in a blown up detail section along with a list of as many provisions and abandoned sections of the system I have discovered.

Fine art prints are made in Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY on Semi-Gloss, 10mil Premium Luster Paper.
