Tracks of the Chicago L – Book Project in Progress

I’m excited to announce that I’ve started working on a full track map book of the Chicago “L,” titled Tracks of the Chicago L , inspired by Peter Dougherty’s legendary Tracks of the New York City Subway (nyctrackbook.com).

This project will map every line, yard, junction, and interlocking of the CTA system in full track-level detail, from the Loop’s tangle of steel to the far reaches of Howard, Forest Park, Kimball, and 95th/Dan Ryan.

My goal is to create something railfans, historians, and everyday riders can all enjoy, a book that’s accurate, easy to read, and full of Chicago character.

The book will also highlight railfan photo hotspots, such as the dramatic view from Cicero Station where the Green Line soars over the railroad tracks with the Chicago skyline in the distance.

I’m currently looking for contributors who know the system inside and out: signal maintainers, operators, historians, or anyone with insight into the L’s tracks, signals, platforms, yards, and major junctions.

Contributors will be credited in the book, and detailed write-ups may receive a byline on that specific subject or chapter. I’m also seeking reviewers to help check for accuracy of facts, names, and maps.

A photo contest for the book cover will be announced at a later date.

If you love the L, know its quirks, or have deep knowledge of its infrastructure, I’d love to hear from you.
