Random Facts

In the early 1900s in Chicago, there were three companies producing elevated train lines in the city. The loop of tracks downtown was already built, and the north side rail lines were nearing being ready to open. However, they had a time limit to open or their contract to construct and operate the lines would close and another company would get the job. Their contract only said that 'rail service' must begin by a certain date. In order not to lose the contract, even though there were not yet ready to open, they sent one train down the exisitng and usable tracks. The city decided that they were not providing rail service, so decided to close down the project. The company continued to run that one train. At Wilson station on the north side, police boarded the train, arrested the operator, and left. They thought this would work, but they did not know there was a plain-clothed man who worked for the company on the train as well. The other man got up, started the train, and continued along the way. Police went downtown to stop the operation. They went onto the tracks to physically block the train. Calmly, the driver accelerated at the police. They jumped out of the way, and nobody was hurt. They went around to the end of the loop where the train would exit, and laid metal on the tracks that would trip the train and cause it to derail. In stead, the operator reversed the train and left the loop the way he came. This chase went on for hours before it finally ended. Needless to say, operation on that line stopped. However, it was later reopened after pleas and legal procedings had granted an extension, and thousands of Chicagoans per day ride those tracks today.
