Final Years of the Union Pacific (CNW) Weber-Mayfair Sub I
This is probably the only known footage of activity on the Union Pacific's (former Chicago & Northwestern) railroad's "Weber" or "Mayfair Cutoff." The subdivision covered the far north-side of Chicago, Lincolnwood, Skokie and Evanston (Illinois). Footage is from March, 2004. I spent over 15 years getting photos of this line as the customers it served dropped off to the one you see being served in this movie. I wish I had a video camera in the 1990's, 80's and 70's. But this is the best I could do. To learn more about this line and the wonderful people who have helped preserve its history, please visit our group website at http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/cnw_weber_sksub/
There are also two excellent books covering this line--and its sister line known as the Skokie Subdivision--at http://www.cnwhs.org/shopping/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=mayfair&x=7&y=7
If you or someone you know has memories, photos or video, about this line or the Skokie Sub, please contact us through the website or enter your comments below.
