Eyes in the air: Wilson ‘L’ station

Published on Jun. 13, 2017 by Steven Vance


Two weeks ago a friend was in town and he wanted to check out the hot air balloon that I recently got. He suggested we photograph the new Wilson station that the Chicago Transit Authority is building in the Uptown community area. It was a great idea, because the station looks better from above than from below.

The project is a $203 million replacement of the station, platforms, and about 3/4 mile of track and guideway.
