Date Photographed

Exterior views of Chicago Union Station and along the Metra Electric line through Grant Park.

Rail yards need to store a wide variety of material, typically stored in an orderly mess. Perhaps these photographs might be useful for modeling.

The downtown Chicago skyline, looking north from the Roosevelt Road Yard. The steel bridge in the foreground formerly carried pedestrian traffic. It is now closed, and the largely-wooden bridge from which this photgraph was taken provides access to the station and lakefront. Roosevelt Road Yard sits empty in the yard.
