Selected photos: Chicago ‘L’ (elevated train) August 2024


I can see why Chicago gets used in so many films and TV shows. I got fascinated with the Chicago 'L' (elevated train) whilst out there with the kids in August (2024) to give a paper at the Punk Scholars Network ConferenceAnd a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) pass for one week was only $20 allowing you on trains and buses ... 


Photo at the top was taken on my mobile phone inside a bus, through a dirty window hence it is fuzzy. Shots 1 & 4 below are from the architectural boat cruise taken on my camera, a Sony ILCE-7M4. Photo 2 & 3 below were taken on my mobile phone, and show the 'Loop' district at street level. Photo 5 below is on my mobile phone and was taken on my walk with the kids to DePaul University, Lincoln Park Campus, for my talk.
