Yes I do remember St. Elsewhere and the opening shot of the el.The day of closure of the north section, I hadn't realized it was coming up that close until someone mentioned it downtown. I turned around, took the Green Line back to my apartment, way out by Cleveland Circle reservoir, grabbed my camera went back in town to ride the north section. Had one roll of b & w print film, took maybe about 15-20 photos, it was sleeting that day, so drops were on the RFW. Included was a photo of the closure notice at North Station, and both North station platforms for Orange & Green Lines (latter shots included PCC's), both of which have been gone for years. For south section, knew in advance; went on BSR Assoc. fantrip week before closure; over the next week or so, took somewhere around 250 plus slides of the south section, from street=, platform, & train views. Went back during and after razing & took several more photos/ slides. |
