  • Chiflu – Corflu 33
    Progress Report 1 DECEMBER 2015 Chif lu – Corflu 33 Chicago 2016 – May 13-15 Progress Report 2 April 2016 (RIP Art. A trufan and a true friend to us all.) Home Stretch Well here we are one month out from Corflu 2016. This is the "now it gets real" moment for any convention. The list of to-dos gets longer every day, especially as things previously neglected suddenly rear their head ("Can I park your car for $60 a day sir?" and "I'm sorry do your attendees expect chairs in the conference room?"). The last one being a real question asked many years ago as we setup a con venue. It has been a while since I last organized a con, and those are two perfect reasons why that has remained true! But, the end is nigh, and we will have a "great time" - to paraphrase a wannabe contemporary politician, we will also have "the best time." Thank you President, er.. I mean King Trump for those inspiring words to live and plan cons by. This progress report sets the tone for what to expect at "the Chiflu". Conveniently hosted in downtown Chicago, there's a wealth of things to distract you from the actual con, and I implore you to take full advantage of the opportunity to enjoy our fine city. Except of course when there's programming happening. It is hard to walk around Chicago and not be inspired by the amazing architecture, public art, friendly locals, and sheer exuberance of it all. Also, spring has gotten off to a "great" start, and we are fully expecting "great" things in mid-May.

  • Station Tour October 20, 2002
    4th Annual Historic “L” Station Tour October 20, 2002 Presented By: Chicago-L.org 4th Annual Historic “L” Station Tour Guide Union Loop When the tour begins at Quincy station downtown, you will find yourself on the old Union Elevated Railroad, commonly known as "the Loop." The only man who could accomplish the difficult task of bringing a common downtown terminal to the Chicago elevated rapid transit system, which used to end at a separate terminal for each company, was Charles Tyson Yerkes. He had enough political deftness and power to convince store owners to sign consent forms allowing construction of the overhead structures on their streets (although alley routes were briefly contemplated). Though it was difficult — two segments had to be obtained under the names of existing "L" companies while for the two other legs, two companies, the Union Elevated Railroad and the Union Consolidated Elevated Railroad, had to be created — Yerkes managed to coordinate it all. As can be imagined from its piecemeal The construction of the Loop through downtown, seen here look- method of obtaining of leases, the Union Loop (referred ing west at Lake and Wabash circa 1894, was a major construction to simply as "the Loop" today) opened in pieces, starting project. In spite of the disruption, the project brought innumerous benefits to the central business district.

North Side Main Line/Ravenswood Line After leaving the Loop through Tower 18 (at Lake & Wells), once the busiest railroad junction in the world, you will be on what is today the Brown (Ravenswood) Line.

  • Big Freight Railroads to Miss Safety Technology Deadline
    Big Freight railroads to miss safety technology deadline FILE - In this June 4, 2014 file photo, a Norfolk Southern locomotive moves along the tracks in Norfolk, Va. Three of the biggest freight railroads operating in the U.S. have told telling the government they won’t make a 2018 deadline to start using safety technology intended to prevent accidents like the deadly derailment of an Amtrak train in Philadelphia last May. Norfolk Southern, Canadian National Railway and CSX Transportation and say they won’t be ready until 2020, according to a list provided to The Associated Press by the Federal Railroad Administration. Steve Helber, File AP Photo BY JOAN LOWY, Associated Press WASHINGTON Three of the biggest freight railroads operating in the U.S. have told the government they won't meet a 2018 deadline to start using safety technology intended to prevent accidents like the deadly derailment of an Amtrak train in Philadelphia last May. Canadian National Railway, CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern say they won't be ready until 2020, according to a list provided to The Associated Press by the Federal Railroad Administration. Four commuter railroads — SunRail in Florida, Metra in Illinois, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority and Trinity Railway Express in Texas — also say they'll miss the deadline. The technology, called positive train control or PTC, relies on GPS, wireless radio and computers to monitor train positions and automatically slow or stop trains that are in danger of colliding, derailing due to excessive speed or about to enter track where crews are working or that is otherwise off limits.
