Riding The Rails with Geoffrey Baer

episode

In his latest special, lifelong train enthusiast Geoffrey Baer hops aboard to tell the story of how railroads shaped our city. Along the way, he uncovers clues all around us to railroads of the past, recalls the colorful characters who built them and the unsung workers who toiled on them, and reveals why our current rail system remains just as vital to Chicago’s existence today. Audio-narrated descriptions of key visual elements are available.
