The freight tunnels lie 40 feet beneath Chicago's streets. Miniature manned trains ran down there. The cars carried freight and coal to the buildings downtown and removed trash, mainly ashes from the burnt coal. There are over 60 miles of freight tunnels. They are directly under the streets of the Loop and cross over the north and west river branches a bit.
