This image was taken on the elevated train station of the Harold Washington Library-State/Van Buren stop, looking onto the train's door entrance. To get here, you can either walk or take public transportation. If you're walking, approach the stairs on W Van Buren and S Dearborn St. They'll lead you up to the train, where you can get this view of the train's doors. Reference the GPS and you'll find the specific spot where I shot this photo. By subway: - Closest station: Harold Washington Library-State/Van Buren (Brown, Pink, Orange or Purple Line)
