2 tracks, signalled for normal right hand operation. Between Howard Street and Dempster Street, most of the original signals remained in use for CTA's Skokie Swift service, until the mid 1970's when they were replaced with CTA's cab signal system.

TRACK DIAGRAM

All main tracks are shown, along with most switches within interlockings. Not shown are hand operated industrial switches.

Information is based on track diagrams contained in the book "Route of the Electroliners", the Central Electric Railfans' association (CERA) Bulletin 107.

The following colors are used to indicate types of operation:
BLUE - manual interlocking
GREEN - automatic block signals (single direction, current of traffic)
BLACK - unsignaled

Thin lines across tracks indicate signals.
