Hi, it's been 15 years, I have 135 photos listed. I'm trying to get this photo listed. 2057451
8182.1777584428.tn.jpg
I'm trying to show a three mile 'L' trestle.
I told this explanation to the editors. "Chicago, unlike eastern cities, Chicago has alleys. Chicago grid is 8 blocks to a mile. To keep from having an empty space in blocks, there are half blocks in the other direction. The alleys go in the direction of 1/16 blocks. The picture shows the 3 mile 'L' trestle. It sits on private property next to the city owned alley. Being alleys, there are garbage carts, paved surfaces, buildings, power wires, trees, autos. The steel 'L' was built in 1893. In 2026, it is still inservice."
Help!
