CHICAGO HEAVY RAIL
Chicago River and Skyline

From Kinzie, northwest of the Loop, this photo presents a wide view of parts of downtown, including what was then the Sears Tower (now Willis Tower).  A six-car Green Line train navigates across the South Branch of the Chicago River over Lake St.  The angular intrusion of an open bridge in the foreground is from an abandoned Chicago and North Western freight spur.
