Bi-levels Row by Craig Sanders Via Flickr: “There are three bi-level gallery cars visible in this scene at LaSalle Street Station in Chicago. Once these tracks hosted trains of the Rock Island, New York Central, and Nickel Plate Road, but on this day there were only commuter trains of the Regional Transportation Authority.”
