Eastbound CTA Blue line train at the Harlem Avenue station. Forest Park Illinois. June 2007.

I took this photo on a hot summer morning in June of 2007. With outside temperatures already in the low 90's, one can be assured that the air conditioning will be getting a work out on this rapid transit train.

This train had just departed from the Des Plaines Avenue terminal a mile or so west of here in west suburban Forest Park Illinois. The train will proceed eastbound in the median of the Illinois U.S Route # I-290 Congress Expressway in to downtown Chicago via the subway system. Once downtown, the train will make a horeshoe curve, and then travel northwestwardly to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport in the village of Rosemont Illinois. A lenghty commute over the Chicago Transit Authority.
