This drone image was taken above the CTA train carriages of the Linden train stop (via Purple Line) in the suburb of Wilmette.
To get here, take the Purple Line on the subway until you reach the Linden stop. Walk off of the train and then make your way to the CTA Purple Line Parking Lot, which is adjacent to the train stop and tracks.
I launched my drone from this parking lot and then flew it south for this perspective of the carriages.
