CTA Lake Street El between at Marion and Harlem in Oak Park |
| Description: |
This is on the C&NW embankment in Oak Park shortly before CTA operations were moved onto it. The CTA cars shown arent hauling passengers yet as that is still being done at the street level tracks. C&NW freight is westbound. The camera on the tripod is an old Kodak Vigilant Six-16 I was using for fun with B&W roll film. |
