| This view from the front window of a train along the South Side 
		"L" shows it to be pretty much as it must have looked a half 
		century and more ago.  I remember 
		the first few times I rode the system in the 1960s, and how I was a bit 
		perturbed -- irrationally so -- by the lack of guard rails at the edges of 
		the structure, such as here.  The inside third rails are fully exposed. |
