Vanshnookenraggen's Chicago Track Map

Vanshoonkenragen is a cartographer with a website (https://www.vanshnookenraggen.com/_index/).

He's made track maps before, including one for New York City and Boston. Now he's made one for Chicago:

Looks great! Note that he's requesting errors get emailed to him so he can correct before it goes to print in a month or so.

Seems the methodology is that lines where the ROW still exists, even if it's a parking lot, gets the light grey, otherwise it's nothing. Seems like a good solution to have most former lines shown in some capacity, without cluttering up the map with the rails there's no trace of today that'd be hard to research.
