Wolf Road, the first grade-separated station east of the Garfield Park "L", as seen looking east from the eastbound platform in the mid 1950s. The station's two platforms are on the west side of Wolf Road. Each has a wooden windbreak and one of the CA&E's ubiquitous flag stop semaphores. Click here for a larger version.
