CTA Trains at the Linden Stop (Purple Line) Look Down

If you want to get creative and have fun, then this location is for you. Best photographed from above, these train carriages create artistic, almost mind-altering, shapes. Launch a drone and play around with varying perspectives — the options are endless here! (before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements)

How to get there

N42° 04' 19.4988"W87° 41' 27.114"
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.
