Later, the first stretch of the rapid-transit portion started west of 
35th, though. I suppose that the long viaduct from 39th Street to near 
45th and Canal connected the surface route (on Clybourn from the PSB?) 
with the interurban to where the original rapid transit part started. 
Are there any remnants of those six blocks south of Merrill Park?
