| Richard Fiedler posted PRR Panhandle depot 119th and Halsted St in West Pullman. Peter Jirousek: All of this is gone. I had no idea the panhandle line had such significant depots like this. PRR must have really dealt in some serious passenger business here. Does anyone know if this line had commuter service? William Shapotkin: Peter Jirousek The answer is "yes." There were suburban trains as far as Crown Point, IN. To date I have not seen a timetable showing them (aside from a Chicago Union Station timetable showing that trains to/from Crown Point were operating). Interestingly enough, up until Amtrak, PRR (and later PC) showed schedules for train service operating betw Chicago and Crown Point (albeit operating via Colehower) up until Amtrak day (they were on the back of the Chicago-Valparaiso timetable). Additionally, ten ride tickets (on both PRR/PC and ERIE/EL) were sold up until each carrier's respective psgr operations ended. John Polek: I read somewhere that passenger service on the PRR's Panhandle line ended in 1927, but I know nothing more than that. Hope this helps in someone's research into this line.

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Peter's question Probably a lot of factory workers used it. The solar farm to the west and south of 120th Street used to be an International Harvester plant. And the brownland north of 120th Street used to be an Ingersoll plant. As with the Riverdale depot, it appears that Pennsy removed the depot before 1938. 1938 Aerial Photo |
