Chicago

In some ways, this scene feels like an urban canyon with the train parting through the modern building as it creates a metropolitan gorge of architecture, color and clear-blue city skies.

This image was taken from the Washington/Wabash CTA station and is of the L train and elevated tracks. Head to this station in the Loop and then after you pay your fare, take the steps towards the Orange/Pink/Green/Purple Line trains. Once you're at train level, walk all the way to the south end of the platform to get an unobstructed, south-facing view of the train and surrounding buildings.
