Someone on Facebook whose relative used to work in a CB&Q freight house asked about where it may have been. I searched the aerial maps of
Clyde Yard and Chicago. There were a couple of buildings at Clyde, but they did not look like freight houses. This makes sense since all of the freight forwarders for the Chicago area are concentrated downtown. On this overview, I added red rectangles where I think there were freight houses. Then Google found the above photo. The closeups below are of the five freight houses. There must be tracks under Polk that go into the "new outbound freight house".
