(b) That part of area VII–A is a strip of land bounded (1) on the east by a line 300 feet east of the electrical transmission line that crossed area VII–A on January 1, 1979; (2) on the west by a line 50 feet west of that same line; and (3) on the north and south by area VII–A's own northern and southern boundaries. (c) Area VII–A includes the railroad-track bed forming its northern and northwestern boundaries, and extends to the northern edge of the track bed forming its southern boundary. (d) Area I–D includes the railroad-track bed along its northern boundary. (e) Area VII–C does not include about 1.3 acres where the Linde Air Products plant sits, or about 1 acre where the Old Union Station building and the nearby REA building sit.
