The Night’s Last El

An El Train crosses the Chicago River atop the Wells Street Bridge in Chicago's Loop. The title was inspired by a passage from “Never Come Morning,” a Chicago based novel by author Nelson Algren.

 

"The Great trains howling from track to track all night. The taut and telegraphic murmur of ten thousand city wires, drawn most cruelly against a city sky. The rush of city waters, beneath the city streets. The passionate passing of the night's last El."

 

Thanks for viewing! Have a great day ... and an El of a night :)
