Five lines done!

I have now photographed every station on five of the eight lines of the L: Blue, Brown, Orange, Purple, and Yellow! Of the three remaining lines I have eleven stations left if I’m counting correctly.

My most recent expedition was to photograph the rest of the Blue Line, and in keeping with the blue theme the sky also was a very deep blue. I photographed the rest of the Congress Branch:

In particular I got one very nice photo at UIC-Halsted, juxtaposing the station with the downtown skyline:

I also photographed Washington, which somehow I had never photographed all this time despite its central location:

I also photographed two abandoned stations along the Congress Branch in the process:

Then I headed up to Logan Square to get lunch, and on the way home photographed the new flooring at Chicago:

Compare this to the flooring in 2019:

Definitely an improvement, looked like they were doing the same thing at Grand and Division too.

Honestly not much more to say, this was just a status update and some more pictures. Eleven stations to go if I’m counting correct, and I’ll hopefully get them done in short order.
