A CTA Purple Line elevated train makes the tight turn from above Van Buren Street to Wells Street on Chicago's famous Loop elevated structure. The elevated tracks in downtown Chicago are built above four streets squeezing through canyons formed by bordering architecture. Those four streets shape a rectangle or loop for which the city center is named. The Loop allows multiple lines to serve downtown Chicago and many use the rectangle to negotiate turns and return to their point of origin.
