North Shore Line 1945 HD merged

As part of its 125th Anniversary, CTA released vintage footage from its archives. The sound track was replaced with music. This movie was previous released in low res with narration and sounds. I took the CTA HD video and replaced the music with the narration and sounds. The North Shore Line, formed in 1916, was a railroad that traveled from Roosevelt Road in the Chicago Loop, through the northern suburbs, and ended in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Due to increased automobile ownership and the opening of the Edens Expressway, ridership began to decline in the post World War II years, resulting in the abandonment of the Shore Line route in 1955. Ridership continued to decline and along with it, revenue, resulting in the discontinuance of all passenger service during the early morning hours of January 21, 1963. CTA operates the Howard-Dempster segment as the Yellow Line. This is the only portion of the railroad that remains in service. This video, filmed in 1945 by Charles E. Keevil, highlights the routes and communities served by this high speed electric railroad.
