Wolf Road, the first grade-separated station east of the Garfield Park "L", as seen looking east from the eastbound platform in the mid 1950s. The station's two platforms are on the west side of Wolf Road. Each has a wooden windbreak and one of the CA&E’s ubiquitous flag stop semaphores.

The scrapping of the Great Third Rail has already taken place. The rails and ballast have been removed but at this point part of the station still exists. This is the eastern portion of eastbound platform as seen looking southeast from the former right of way.
