Discover the worldfamous Chicago "L"--in all its grit and glory.
The thundering "L" is one of Chicago's most enduring icons.
Operating 247 since 1892, it is not only an antique but a working
antique. More than 10 billion people have ridden the "L," which now
carries half a million people a day over 222 miles of track. The
heavy, rumbling "L" has a light side too. It is sought out by
tourists, featured in major motion pictures, enjoyed by wideeyed
kids, photographed by admirers, and studied by historians.
Meanwhile, both the Smithsonian Institution and the Chicago History
Museum have recently enshrined Chicago "L" cars as the showpiece of
major permanent exhibits. The Chicago "L" shows how the early "L"
lines helped to build Chicago as well as how today's "L" helps to
revitalize neighborhoods and tie the city together. Over the past
100 years, the "L" has survived numerous attempts to tear it down.
Today its future is secure. New services are being added and new
lines planned. This educating and entertaining book brings the
tenacious "L" to life.
