    If I'm not mistaken, we are looking southwest, and the road on the other ide is Green Street. The bridge over Green Street is the Chicago & Northwestern New Line that now runs along the western edge of O'Hare Field.

    I must disagree with Ree Kavok (sorry) as the shadows look to be behind the cars which means the sun is to the right of and behind the camera. Given that, this shot looks towards the northeast and would have been taken mid-day. Today's O'Hare would be in the distance extending to the left of the shot. but I could be wrong.

    Can anyone figure out what direction we are looking? If it's north, then we are looking at Irving Park Road and the future site of O'Hare Field. But I think it's south and that is Green Street. Anyone?
  • Didactic Flavor said:
    Your looking north!

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called freightyards, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    In the background is where O'Hare airport will be in 15 years.
