  • A History of the Rail Line in Winnetka Why Are the Train Tracks Lower in Winnetka?
    A History of tHe Rail line in WinnetkA Why Are the train tracks lower in Winnetka? Grade crossings were a perennial danger in downtown Winnetka. In 1854, only two tracks existed with two trains a day. The addition of the North Shore Electric Line increased the tracks to four sets. By 1909, there were 177 daily steam engine trains and frequent commuter trains passing by and stopping in Winnetka. As rail traffic increased and the population grew, so did the number of automobiles, cyclists and pedestrians. Accidents resulted in 31 deaths and numerous injuries, but proposed solutions foundered for lack of funding. Winnetka Grade Separation Project, 1939 The “Big Ditch” construction project began in 1938 and ran from Indian Hill to Hubbard Woods. It included seven bridges Drawing of Proposed Track Depression by Village Engineer Frank A. Windes, 1906 (two for pedestrians) and three train stations along with retaining walls. Much of the excavated soil was used as landfill in Crow With the community demanding action, a funding solution was finally achieved. Island Woods. After five years of construction, the project was Of critical importance was a commitment from the Public Works Administration, headed completed in 1943. by Secretary of the Interior and Winnetkan Harold L. Ickes, to fund 45% of the project. The Village contributed 29%, and the balance was funded by the Chicago & North Western and North Shore railroad companies. The Chicago & North Western railroad was in favor of the plan, as their trains had been getting stuck on the incline between Evanston and Winnetka for decades. An additional engine was frequently sent from Evanston to push the train up the bluff into Winnetka.
