CHICAGO HEAVY RAIL
Oak Park, Blue Line |
|
|
Farther out the Blue Line runs along the south side
of the Eisenhower Expy. Outbound afternoon traffic congestion is
apparent in this view, and a long freight occupies a track on the parallel CSX right of
way. This is near the Oak Park station on the line, two stops
from the outbound terminal. The then-named Sears Tower remains visible in the far
distance.
In the earlier era of the Garfield Park "L," the line once went
considerably further west, with trackage rights on portions of the
Chicago, Aurora and Elgin interurban. |
