IC Box Cars at About 11th and S. Michigan Ave.
Title:  IC Box Cars at About 11th and S. Michigan Ave.
Description:  My understanding was that if railroad property were used for railroad purposes it was taxed at a much lower rate thus the picture shows how the IC held on to some extremely valuable property (between Michigan Ave. and the Lake) that eventually became an extension of Grant Park.
