My own personal car, was down for repair with major engine block
repairs that had to be done. During this period of a little over a week,
I commuted to my job at Chicago's Midway Airport, via the popular
Chicago Transit Authority blue and orange line rapid transit routes.

Here we are in the very rear of an orange line train, south of Brighton Junction.
