Routes

This CTM operation was notable for its extensive operations on street trackage, especially on Lakewood Avenue, Kingsbury Street, and Cherry Avenue. The last revenue run by CTM was in 2015 to Big Bay Lumber. Later CTM would store empty freight cars on various parts of the tracks. The line was formally abandoned in 2019, with the City of Chicago acquiring the rights to reactivate rail service while at the same time pursuing conversion of the line to a rail trail.
