ilitate against this plan, especially with a re-constructed Air Line. Soo Line: This line which is the Chicago entrance of theCanadian Pacific Ry. and which has recently constructed im-portant and expensive freight terminals on Canal street southof 12tli street, detours over seven miles south of the St. Paulconnection at Franklin Park in order to reach the I. C. stationat 12th street. Should this line use the St. Paul tracks intothe West Side station, saving in distance would amount to noless than five miles and in rnnning time to from twelve tofifteen minutes, also saving one river crossing and four rail-road grade crossings. 174 Chicago Eailroad Termixals.

FIGURE 84. UNIT STATION PLAN. This plan proposes a series of four stations along Canal Street, of which thepresent Chicago & North Western Station forms the first. The other threewould be east of Canal Street—one at Van Buren, one at Polk and one at MaxwellStreet. The roads entering over the Illinois Central and Chicago, Rock Island& Pacific rights-of-way would connect with these stations over a new route southof 18th Street. This removes practically all railroad barriers to the expansionof the business district southward, but causes many additional railroad rivercrossings, unless a tunnel under the river is used. This plat shows existing streets and river as at present. With the riverstraightened, much latitude exists for street opening and rearrangement.
