CHICAGO HEAVY RAIL
Dan Ryan, Southbound |

This image is from not far from the end of the Red Line.
An outbound train glides by. Some day this route may be
extended further out from its current terminal; expressway medians lie
fallow awaiting such future developments.
In a city with
arteries named for John F. Kennedy, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Adlai
Stevenson, the "Dan Ryan" name likely presents some
recognition issues for those not familiar with local politics.
Some quick Web research divulges that he was President of the Cook
County Board of Commissioners, and died in 1961. And he was a
major
force in getting the Chicago expressway system built. |
