Chicago Industrial L Train Tracks Downtown | Limited Edition of 10
Chicago’s Industrial L Tracks – Urban Black & White Print
I took this shot standing under the “L” tracks in Chicago. This is the industrial soul of the city. What I love about this black and white is the rawness of the steel. You can feel the grime and age seeping from the structure. It’s dirty in the best kind of way.
The street lights hanging from the framework are quiet and calm. They’re not just functional but standing guard over the street below. The sign that says “13 FT 7 IN EXACTLY” feels like a dare to do something more significant to go under it. There’s something odd about that message in all the metal chaos. That sign is a reminder that even in all this urban grime, there’s still order.
I love how the black-and-white makes the grime, dirt, and industrial texture of the steel pop. It removes all distractions and shows the bones of this old structure. The contrast between light and dark makes the beams feel more massive. You can almost hear the train above and feel the vibrations through the bolts and rivets.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
