NYC tracks past Central Station

Unread post by RJB »

When NYC stopped using the Illinois Central station in Chicago for its Detroit to Chicago service in 1957, were there any yards or dock tracks north of the station still owned by NYC? If so, when were these sold or removed?

There was a complex of freight terminal trackage north of there, the South Water street terminal, NKP, NYC (Michigan Central ) used these areas, I am modeling this area. Slowly the area was being cleared, I don't know who whats when, but there may be residual trackage from all of this today. I'll poke around more later and see what.
