GOAL, ASHES, FREIGHT
IS SUPPLIED CHICAGO ::: BY SUBWAY SYSTEM l : (By Associated Press) ( .r CHICAGO. Dec. , 13. Forty feet "undergroupd Chicago '.has one of the i, j most unique "subway systems In the ;wori4. Devoted entirely to the haul- ' in of1-freight. It keeps the congested loop district comparatively free of : heavy traXCio vehicles. , Officials of the tunnel' company estimate more than . - ,000 trucks would have to . pas 'through loop streets dialy to duplicate i'the work done by the subway. Over 62 miles of narrow gauge track, 132 electrlo locomotives and T.00O freight cars hauled 6,000,000 . tons of merchandise and 230.Q0O tons Of coal last year. Scores of downtown office buildylngs and stores receive their freight j. from the railroad depots via the subway. ' Their -coal comes by the same route, and at night the ashes are hauled away through the underground tunnelB, to be dumped on the lake
front, where acres of land are reclaimed yearly. The ground on which the
- great new Field Museum, at the south
end of Grant Park, is built, was a , few years ago a part of the lake. The tunnel company filled It in with J' cshes. . ; Carries Dirt Away. ; Another unusual service is the retnoval of dirt from building excavations. A shaft is sunk from the build- ; ing site to the tunnel level under the street. "Workmen with wheel barrows
dump the dirt, down the 6haft, where it falls Into cars of a waiting train, to be hauled to the lake front disposal station. For handling merchandise, coal and ashes, electric elevators lift the subway cars from the tunnel level to stores and office buildings, where they are emptied and refilled, and then lowered again to the tracks below. The subway' tracks underlay every street in the loop district, covering a district 22 blocks long and nine blocks wide, and in addition the network of tunnels extends north under the river to the warehouse and railroad district along North Water street, and west of the south branch of the river for six blocks through the railroad and factory district of the near west side. Four main receiving stations outside of the loop gather Incoming merchandise for delivery to downtown buildings, and distribute outgoing packages for truck hauls to other parts of the city. Every railroad station but one has connections, and freight and express billed from one station to another is transferred by the subway. In addition every station but one has connections for sending mail to the postoffice. Special trains of steel mall cars carry the sacks through the tunnel.
