I can do better than explain:

That is looking north and approximately in the late 1940s. The track  
goes straight until it's adjacent to the alley where it turns and  
heads east on Clybourn. The subway can be seen splitting off the main  
line to to the south. Just to be clear, the "subway" was never  
underground because it was never completed. It was built as an open  
cut and would have been covered if the funding didn't stop.
