Well, my plan was to make the next update of the middle of the Red Line, the State Street Subway but I was overly dithering with myself over how to address downtown with its continuos platform plus a station I visited in the midst of a renovation. I needed a break and a branch that […]
In this update I’ve finished off the 12 stations on the Red Line that Purple Line Express Trains bypass on their long express run between Belmont and Howard. This four track line has a layout that exists nowhere in New York City, the local stops (except for 2, which express trains could stop at) with […]
The Purple Line is the Shuttle to Evanston although during Rush Hours Purple Line Express trains run all the way south and around the Loop. It also branches off at Howard. With this line complete (except for three stations that a combination of my camera and my computer managed to lose, I need to venture […]
This update is of the three stations of the Yellow Line-Skokie Swift, the unique two car shuttle that connects a Park & Ride lot in a Chicago suburb with the ‘L’ System, the line which is over 5 miles finally got an intermediate stop in downtown just a few months ago at Oakton (without parking).

The CTA Pink Line is Here!
The Pink Line is CTA’s newest and has operated since only 2006, it didn’t open up any new sections of track but simply took over operations of the 54/Cermak Blue Line branch and used the Paulina Connector to reach the Green Line’s Lake Street ‘L’ and enter the loop. Here are the 10 stations on […]
Well the end of the Lake ‘L’, the western branch of the Green Line from the Loop I will need to return to. I’ve realized that I only have decent photo essays of the first five stations coming out from downtown, so those will have to suffice until the next time I return to Chicago […]
First this old sign I photographed at West 4th Street–(3 photos) on my way home today, it has been there for about a year after a newsstand was removed. Yesterday the new entrance that leads directly to the main entrance to the Barclays Center opened at Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center (IRT)-(44 Photos) and I visited. The […]
The Loop the Heart and soul of the Chicago ‘L’ is what I was working on this past week (why there hasn’t been an update) in my spare time and something that would have been a nightmare of broken links if I didn’t upload it all at once: Adams/Wabash–(28 photos) Madison/Wabash–(39 photos) Randolph/Wabash–(19 photos) State/Lake–(43 […]
Well, I got busy last week and over the weekends and didn’t quite have a chance to upload anything new. I do go on a few railfanning trips though: Last Monday I stared on the M60 Bus to the 6 train up to Pelham Bay Park for a day on Bee-Line Bus to all 6 […]
