The ‘L’ (or “El” for elevated) is 102.8 miles of mostly elevated railway divided into eight rainbow colored lines: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, and Brown. Alongside NYC and Copenhagen, it is one of only three public city railways in the world to offer 24-hour service on some of its routes. Rightfully hailed as one of the “seven wonders of Chicago,” it isn’t always on time but a ride is time well spent if you can remember to look up from your phone and out at the view. #chicago #theL #chicagoel #elevatedrail #commute #chicagocommute #chicagothingstosee
