In reply to Tyler. Hah, that is a pretty major error, eh? Harrison station is actually there, so I guess I assumed the tracks that were right next to it were that line. Guess I better fix this :P

I love day-to-night timelapses. Beautiful work. The hostel I stayed at is in the frame, the second building on the left down the street.

One correction though: This is actually the Orange and Green Lines, while trains continuing around the loop are Orange and Pink.

The Red Line runs underground through downtown via the State Street Subwayâ€”it doesn’t use the loop or any elevated trackage downtown. The stop you say is out of frame to the left is…well, I don’t know. Harrison is underground and Roosevelt is a ways south. I explored this area quite a bit and don’t remember any elevated stations that could be there.

One way you can remember which lines go underground through downtown is that they’re the same ones that run 24/7. Chicagoans love the Loop…but not that much!
