The North Branch of the River runs north to the left of the Mart. The top of the building showing over the right half of the Mart is the Hancock. The South Branch drains the North Branch and the River into the Illinois River/ Mississippi River System. Once upon a time the Chicago River drained into Lake Michigan causing all kinds of pollution and disease to Chicagoens.

CTA 2024
Title:  CTA 2024
Description:  Chicago Transit Authority Pullman 2024 crossing the Chicago River at Lake Street on October 17, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The bridge pictured was built in 1916 by Ketler-Elliott Company of Chicago, Illinois, engineering and design by the City of Chicago. It replaced a swing bridge which was kept in service while the bascule bridge (pictured) was built around it. The first documented bridge at Lake Street was built of wood in 1849. This bridge was rebuilt by N. Chapin in 1859, rebuilt by Fox and Howard as a wood/iron combination bridge. In 1885, an iron bridge was built by the Detroit Bridge Company. The 1885-bult bridge was converted into a double-deck bridge in 1893. More information at this address: http://historicbridges.org/bridges/browser/?bridgebrowser=truss/lake/

CTA 2108
Title:  CTA 2108
Description:  Chicago Transit Authority 2108 near Randolph and Wabash in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in March 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The prominent building on the right was known as the Jeweler's Building, also known as 35 East Wacker Drive. It was originally designed and built in the 1920's as a high tech office tower for jewelers. The lower 23 floors were serviced by automobile elevators that, for security reasons, transported the tenant, their jewels, and their car directly up to the office floor. Changing times reduced the utility of this machinery and the elevator shafts were subsequently filled in. At the time of its construction, 35 East Wacker Drive was the tallest building west of New York City. It is easily distinguished on the Chicago skyline by its "wedding cake" shape and the water towers visible at the four corners of the first set back (part of the original fire suppression system - now decommissioned). The top of the Building is a large dome which was originally a restaurant (currently the showroom of architect Helmut Jahn) and it is said to have been frequented by Al Capone during Prohibition. The Building is designated a Chicago landmark.

CTA 2129
Title:  CTA 2129
Description:  Chicago Transit Authority 2129 at Pulaski Road in Chicago, Illinois on October 25, 1964, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This train was a CERA fan trip, seen on the ramp from the elevated to ground level. Once on the ground, the track made a 180 degree turn and headed back under the elevated track. There was a shop building on the other side of Lake Street. To reach the shops, the train would coast across Lake Street and into the shops as there was no third rail or trolley wire to power the train across the street. If the train didn't make it across, the CTA had 'stingers', wooden poles with a contact on one end of each pole and a cable between the poles. One pole would be touched to a power source (3rd rail) and the other pole would be touched to the third rail pickup shoe, effectively, jumper cables.

Title:  CTA 2130
Description:  Chicago Transit Authority 2130 at Western Avenue on the Milwaukee Route (now called the Blue Line) in Chicago, Illinois on October 25, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was a fan trip sponsored by the Central Electric Railfans' Association using a pair of the newly-delivered Pullman cars. The trip operated between regular trains, so the plan was to get close to the train in front, stop at the station and let us off. To get this shot you walked (quickly) off the platform at the right, down and around to the platform on the other side, got your shot and headed back to the train so as not to delay the train following, maybe 15-30 minutes..
