Infrastructural Views Fresh From the Digital Cameras.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The other day, I landed at Midway where I was met by Chris Guss. We immediately set to work making images of America\u2019s most railroad intensive city. It\u2019s been nearly two years since I was last here; and nearly 30 years since my first visit. Time passes and much has changed, yet there are many vestiges of old railroads.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always a wheel turning in Chicago, but these pictures are more about the railroad infrastructure than the trains themselves. There’s a book in this somewhere.<\/p>\n
