During the summer concert season, an extra weekend train to Ravinia Park station also stops here. Winnetka was built at grade level when it served the Chicago and North Western Railway. As an increasing amount of railroad traffic came through Winnetka, the railroad crossings became unsafe, and 29 people had been killed at railroad crossings by 1937 despite safety efforts by the city and the railroad. After two prominent Winnetka women died at the Pine Street crossing on October 20, 1937, Winnetkans demanded that the grade crossings be removed, electing to put the tracks in a below-grade trench. With the help of funding from the Public Works Administration, the tracks were lowered into a trench by 1943. Winnetka and Hubbard Woods stations were located at street level with access to station platforms by stairs from a pedestrian walkway across the tracks, and Indian Hill became an elevated station.

YWCA Building (Peoria, Illinois)

The YWCA Building in Peoria, Illinois was built in 1928. It was designed by Hewitt, Emerson & Gregg. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It sits at 301 Northeast Jefferson Avenue, at the north corner with Fayette Street in downtown Peoria. The Peoria chapter of the YWCA was founded in 1893. By 1928 it had run out of space in its original building; it raised $350,000 in just eight days to build this replacement. This building was dedicated on September 16, 1929. Among its features were an auditorium, swimming pool, chapel, several club rooms, and residential facilities for 86 people. The YWCA moved out of this building in 2003; headquarters moved to 1013 West Lake Avenue in Lakeview Park, where the YWCA had maintained a campground since the late 1960s. Later, partially due to funding a new pool at the YWCA Lakeview building in the 2000s, the Peoria YWCA became financially distressed, moving out of the Lakeview building in 2011 and closing down completely in the summer of 2012. Since April 2008, this building has been New Hope Apartments, supportive housing with 79 apartments. Renovation cost almost $8 million, and new apartments were created in part by building over the top of the pool and inside the space of the former two-story gymnasium. The New Hope project was originally planned for the International Harvester Building, also on the National Register of Historic Places, but was blocked by the city government. References

The charter school focuses on teaching math, science and technology - in response to statistics showing women are underrepresented in these fields. The YWLCS runs from ninth through grade twelve; providing a single sex education meant to ameliorate gender inequities in the classroom.

Kernkraftwerk Zion

Das Kernkraftwerk Zion war die dritte Anlage mit Zwillings-Reaktoren des damaligen Energieversorgers Commonwealth Edison. Es lieferte Strom für Chicago und das nördliche Viertel von Illinois. Das Kraftwerk befand sich am äußersten östlichen Teil der Stadt Zion, Lake County (Illinois). Diese liegt etwa 64 km Luftlinie nördlich von Chicago und etwa 68 km südlich von Milwaukee. Das Kernkraftwerk wurde im Februar 1998 stillgelegt. Das Kraftwerk war seit Februar 1997 nicht mehr in Betrieb, nachdem während einer Abschaltung des Reaktorblockes 1 die Steuerstäbe zu weit eingeführt und dann entgegen den Betriebsvorschriften und ohne Aufsichtserlaubnis wieder herausgezogen wurden. Der Reaktorblock 2 war zu dem Zeitpunkt zum Austausch der Brennelemente abgeschaltet. Der Betreiber kam in der Folge zu dem Schluss, dass das Kraftwerk die Kosten einer zum Weiterbetrieb notwendigen Anschaffung von Dampferzeugern (435 Millionen US-Dollar) vor Ablauf der Betriebsgenehmigung im Jahr 2013 nicht amortisiert kann. Rückbau Die Anlage wurde rückgebaut, im November 2023 wurde das Gelände zur uneingeschränkten Nutzung freigegeben, lediglich das Lager für verbrauchten Kernbrennstoff bleibt bestehen.
