The Night’s Last El by Carlton Holls Via Flickr: 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."

From The Trolley Dodger blog: “This Chicago, Aurora & Elgin image is from an original 1950s Kodachrome slide that was not processed by Kodak. . . . The location is downtown Elgin, along the Fox River. The Rialto Theatre burned down in 1956.”
