This is probably a stupid question. I've been looking at articles about the track elevations in the Chicago area back in the 1910's and 1920's. Sometimes they call a crossing a subway and sometimes they call it a bridge. They all are bridges too me. What is the difference?
My grandfather worked for a construction company called "Bates & Rogers Construction Corporation" from Chicago. In their brochure they state that they built all of the bridges and most of the subways for 50 miles into Chicago. I can't see what the difference is. Anybody out there know what the difference is?
