Historic Chicago Trainsit Authority L Trains

Through the years, I have drawn several vintage Chicago L Trains.  Many of us recognize Chicago L Trains for the role they have played not only connecting us around Chicago, but for their appearances in many TV shows and movies.  These historic L Trains are on display at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL.  http://www.irm.org/  

Chicago's Historic L Train-Truly a Chicago Icon

While visiting Chicago for Amtrak Train Days, I got a chance to ride Chicago's historic L Train.  I took the Kimball Line Train around the loop.  I truly got a feel for the downtown Chicago experience while riding the L.
When you visit Chicago, I recommend riding the L Train, if only to take it around the loop.  The views of the Chicago River and the downtown are spectacular.  Riding the L, you get to experience the train that we have all seen in movies and pop TV such as "The Bob Newhart Show."  The L Train is truly a Chicago icon.
