"When the sun finally does go down, even on this dreary Winter Saturday, it will fall on car dealerships and industrial vistas rather than behind the wooden supports of roller coasters or the glimmering water of a lake."


 

LINK: The Story of Chester Park

I'm intrigued to read, but I think the link is broken.

Love to give this a read once that links up and running!

Thank you! 

Sorry about the bad link, moving too fast this morning. 

Nice write up. Spend a lot of time in Northside not to far from the water company building. Had no clue about the train station being relocated. Thanks for sharing!

I believe the train station was near where Frisch's is now.

Having lived in Northside all my life I remember the cool old streetcar maintenance facilities. They were later converted into warehouses before being demolished in the 90s. They were partly located where Advance Auto Parts is now.
