Chicago, IL Depot: Milwaukee Cragin Station

(Satellite, long gone) A 1951 Historic Aerial has it, but a 1962 aerial has the rectangular building we see today.

Eric Larson Metra maintained a basic platform and shelter at Cragin up until mid-to-late 2006, when both the Hermosa and Cragin stops were eliminated to have their functions consolidated into one new stop at Grand/Cicero. The building in this photo had been long gone by this time.

  1. That 1938 aerial photo would be of the Hanson Park Station which North of the Galewood Yard. Cragin Station was at the entrance to the Galewood Yard with the Glidden Factory directly South of the 4-5 tracks.
