CHICAGO HEAVY RAIL
Peculiar Destination Sign |
|
|
It would appear from this image that the Orange Line is in the subway,
whereas these pages demonstrate that it is a Loop route. To compound the situation the front of
the train bears a destination sign for Ford City, an area south of Midway
Airport. No CTA trains of any kind run there. Some day, perhaps
they may-- but here
it's a case of signs not always telling an accurate story.
This concludes the Downtown portion of this series. Chicago is a
vibrant, fascinating city, both in general and for its urban rail (and
other rail) activity. The Loop, in particular, has an ever-calling
allure for the transit lover. I will be back, and there will be more
from downtown. |
