historysisco: On This Day in History June 6, 1892: The first of Chicago’s Elevated Trains aka “The L” runs from 39th (now Pershing Road) and State streets to Congress Parkway and Wabash Avenue. The next year it was extended to accomodate the World Columbian Exposition. By 1897 the first full circuit of the loop was completed. #TheL #TheLoop #ChicagoLoop #IllinoisHistory #ChicagoHistory #TransportationHistory #TrainHistory #AmericanHistory #USHistory #History #Historia #Histoire #Geschichte #HistorySisco https://www.instagram.com/p/Ced3PrguBva/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI= -- source link
