'Midland Hotel' may sound familiar, but perhaps not in this context. The Chicago Elevated Railway (The 'El'), with a train seen crossing in front of the hotel, has been used in several films, including 'The Fugitive' and is the third busiest mass transit system in the USA. The system carried 162 million passengers in 2006. The Central Loop is particularly dramatic.
