Also, I don't see how they would get bidrectional service thru the construction zone. Does your extensive civil engineering experience yield any practical answers?

That's why Winnetka is grade separated & Wilmette & Kenilworth aren't. The grade separation was a project of Winnetka village president Harold Ickes, who went on to work for FDR in the white house. The story of the grade separation is on the wall in the station houses at Winnetka & Hubbard Woods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
