    Is this Chicago?

    No, New York, though this elevated railway is long gone (demolished 1940).

    Raised express track 9th Ave.

    This picture shows the 1915 conversion of the center express tracks at the 14th Street Station to a "hump express" configuration, whereby express trains arrived at the station on a higher track than locals. It is taken from the east side of 9th Ave., looking northwest toward 14th St. This photo from the 30's shows the finished station from the opposite side of 9th avenue, looking northwest: picasaweb.google.com/116363262722377355677/NYC9thAveEl?no... And this aerial photo from the 30's shows that the tracks were eventually enclosed and roofed over at 14th St. picasaweb.google.com/116363262722377355677/NYC9thAveEl?no...

    Thank you, Artolog! The elevated trains are sometimes called by "L" in Chicagoland, which I don't actually know very well, just slightly better than New York.
