Car 2515, assigned to the Green Line, makes its way through the canyon of former and current industrial buildings in the South Loop as it makes it way to the Loop and Harlem/Lake after leaving Roosevelt station circa 1993. Despite the use of the "Loop" destination sign, this train is probably not being short-turned. For a short time, operators were ordered to use "Loop" destination signs on their way to the Loop, then change to the terminal specific sign for use within the Loop and beyond. This practice was quickly discontinued as it proved to be confusing to riders and too much work for motormen. (Photo by Eric Oszustowicz)
