Addison to Sox/35th, Red Line Series (PHOTOS) |

Posted by Chicagopcclcars on Wed Oct 1 22:45:34 2008 Lets take the trip....Addison is a new island station, concrete structure for track 2, steel elevated for track 3. A southbound Red line approaches, the picture says it all. Belmont has three new tracks open now as part of the Brown Line Expansion. A meet in both directions.  Fullerton's construction is ahead of schedule though the hot dog stand is gone. Passengers anticipate an arriving NB Red line.  Chicago and State, Magnificent Mile shows off the horseshoe shape of Chicago's two subways. Our camera caught the third rail flash from a departing red line train.  Lake and yes the world's record continuous platform is no more. It's that dark area where the Washington station used to be. The airport connector would be cut in there, but that project is on hold.  Roosevelt...the flat ceiling tells us this was cut and cover construction.  Cermack/Chinatown...that raised bascule bridge in the background is an icon to railfans. Drifting in through the interlocking that leads up to the Orange line and the Loop "L" is a southbound Red line train.  Sox/ 35th...That's the "Cell" in the background, across the eight lanes of I-94, I-90, AKA the Dan Ryan Expressway. The rear markers are on the only car type operated on the Red line, the 2600 series cars.  Comments and questions welcomed as always. Gamewise, we did take one step back, but tomorrow is another day. Plus this really isn't about just the ball game...just a reason for more pictures. Yeah!! David |
