History:

When the Milwaukee branch of the West-Northwest Route was extended from Logan Square to Jefferson Park in 1970, the old Logan Square yard and shop closed and a new yard and shop at Foster, north of the terminal, opened. The yard and shop were small, constrained within the median of the Kennedy Expressway.

When the Milwaukee branch was again extended, this time to River Road, in 1983, Foster yard and shop closed and were demolished to make way for the tracks to be extended northwest. They were replaced by Rosemont yard and shops.
