Plane in flight (seen from above) and a memory of 1968... 20170212
In Google Earth imagery of June 2016, an airplane is approaching a landing on the northernmost runway at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. This scene is at the center of this Wikimapia aerial view.
Apart from the photography aspect of this image, this place---the railroad tracks in particular---has special meaning for me. In August 1968 I traveled through this scene in a boxcar on a Milwaukee Road freight train that I had boarded in Renton, Washington three days earlier. That ride is documented in this "Garage Dave" story on North Bank Fred's website about freight-hopping. The last two paragraphs mention this area by the airport.
