Evanston skyline from train embankment

 

View looking northeast over Church Street from the Chicago and North Western Railroad tracks (now Metra tracks). The Second Baptist Church (1717 Benson Avenue) is in the distance on the left, and the top part of the Marshall Field's department store at 807 Church Street is on the right. The CTA Purple line tracks run across the center of the image, and part of a Dominick's grocery store parking lot is in front of the embankment at the far left.
