I took this photo on a cold and windy January morning in the year of 2007.
I was passing through the area of South Lawndale Avenue and West 49th Street, and decided to stop and take some photos of the Chicago Transit Authority's Orange line rapid transit to Chicago's Midway Airport. Prior to December of 1988, the embankment wich is todays CTA Orange line, was the very flat landed Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad "Stockyards" industrial branchline. The large brown building in the background, is Curie High School. I attended Curie High School, ( And railfanned behind the property) from 1977 to 1981.
The CTA Orange line train has just departed from the South Pulaski Road station, and is now enroute to downtown Chicago Illinois.
It was great seeing one of My old railfan haunts again.
