Construction of the CTA orange line rapid transit to Midway Airport. Chicago Illinois. May 1990., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.
I took this photograph one evening around sunset, way back in May of 1990.
We are facing west from South Lawndale Avenue at approximately West 49th Street, in Chicago's Elsdon neighborhood.
The construction of the Chicago Transit Authority's orange line rapid transit to Midway Airport, is well underway.
An eastbound Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad switching local traveling over the single track Belt Railway of Chicago owned branchline, is viewed slowly passing through the construction site.
Unfortunately...those light little streaks and spots in the photograph, are from the scanner / printer at a local Osco Drug Store camera counter.
(They really need to clean those things on the inside once in a while.)
