The bright sun reflects with a glare spot in this view
looking from the outbound platform at Roosevelt. The next stop
south for
Green Line trains is almost three miles away -- the longest stretch
between stations on the elevated portion of the CTA. (The Red Line,
running parallel and close by, makes one intermediate stop in that
territory.)
The North Shore interurban line terminated at Roosevelt for many years, arriving
from the Loop and from far, far beyond. It
was the sole user of the "L" trackage south from downtown
to this station for more than two
decades after the State St. subway opened.
