The Chicago "L" |
Chicago has an extensive and efficient public transit system and the elevated railway is a big part. The “L” has multiple spokes emanating from the Loop, a 0.6-mile wide by 0.8-mile high rectangular set of tracks in the center of downtown. Eight rail lines, each known by its color, come into the loop at one corner and go around either clockwise or counterclockwise before exiting to head north, west, or south to Chicago suburbs. The north-west corner of the loop is the busiest rail intersection in the US. |
