Scott Griffith Information from his B&OCT group

I have researched and posted several of Scott's B&OCT Facebook postings. But he is posting information faster than I can deal with it. The industrial spurs on the south side of Chicago is a particularly confusing topic. Hopefully I will have time to revisit this information later.

OLD HEADS do you remember the Penn RR and thr EJ&E merging in on the north East Chicago yard? This is crazy I went to High School at Clark and this line must have run right along side the football field.1-dot

Here is a mystery blueprint from 1917 I'm trying to figure out. Im thinking it is were the IHB RR crossed the B&OCT in what we call currently this day B YARD north of the river of our northern part of East Chicago terminal. The IHB line went West to Calumet Ave and connected into the line we were looking at last night that went behind Clark HS football field. What's your thoughts or any knowledge of this? Also looks like a Interurban line ran down Shefield Ave. H.W.&EC ELECTRIC RY. I presume Hammond Whiting & East Chicago Electric Railway1-dot
