A Dan Ryan 'A' train waits for an Evanston Express
Author: MartyBernard

A Dan Ryan 'A' train waits for an Evanston Express turning at Tower 18.  Shot from the Clark St. Station on the Chicago Loop.

The bridge structure in the distance is over the Ogilvie Transportation Center tracks.  September 22, 1972.

Thanks, Marty.  A month earlier I may have been on that Evanston Express.  Gerry

Your shot Marty?  It's a beauty.  A ride on one of those relics was noisy with plenty of floor vibration.  Used to get one of those occasionally heading south from Linden Ave. in Wilmette on our way to a game at Wrigley back in the '60s and early '70s.

Thanks for sharing. Tower gone?  Automated? Sorry, I ask a lot of questions. That's how I learn.

Great photo of classic CTA Loop action in the early 70s.
