Dating back to 1926, this is where Chicago L trains go for heavy maintenance, overhauls, investigative work, and when retired, preparation for scrapping. The yard complex is easily seen while riding the Yellow Line or at street level from Oakton and often contains transit cars and other rail equipment waiting their turn for repairs or scrapping. www.chicago-l.org/operations/yards/skokieshops.html
