Tianjin Airlines resume flights between Nagoya and Tianjin. 4 flights per each direction from May 29.

Tianjin is located near Beijing. It takes about 30 mins by high speed train.
So, for Tianjin, it's difficult to get more international flights.
But, even under such a situation, Tianjin Airlines manage to launch the direct flight to Nagoya.

After getting off the train, we drove car to point between Beulah Siding and Army Lake Siding.

Ran away
We drove back to Chicago. Specifically speaking, to Kimball CTA Station.
Kimball Station
The station consists of 2 platforms and 3 tracks
Even though it's third rail track, station is located on the ground level
Western Station has siding track. Is there an overtaking train?
Though it's hard to see, METRA tracks are running parallel with this Brown Line
Track restructuring is now ongoing near Belmont Station.
The section between Belmont and Fullerton is quadruple tracks. Red Line Train becomes rapid train during this section.
Red Line passes through Wellington Station
Fullerton Station
What is this abandoned track?
We reached at Chicago L section
We got off the train at State/Lake Station. And, we walked to nearby souvenir shop.
Marina City Goldberg could be seen
We boarded Red Line Train to Chinatown.
The restaurant where we ate dinner
There will be an automatic noodle restaurant?

We boarded Red Line Train to Belmont and changed trains to Brown Line to go back to Kimball Station.
From Kimball Station, we drove back to the hotel.
After eating breakfast, we drove to Cumberland to board Chicago CTA train.
Cumberland Station
We boarded train and alighted at Washington Station. We walked to Art Institute of Chicago Columbus Drive Entrance through Block 37 and Macy's.

After leaving the museum, we went to Starbucks Reserve Roastery and Giordano's by bus. The reason why we visited Giordano's was to eat Chicago pizza.

Finally, we went to Willis Tower by Red line and Chicago Loop to see landscape of downtown.
I wonder what this drawing means.
We entered Willis Tower

There seems to be many kinds of Chicago foods in addition to Chicago Pizza

We returned to Cumberland by Blue Line train, and drove back to the hotel.
We drove to Louisville to visit Colonel Sanders(KFC founder) Museum.
Entrance of the museum
Though the entrance says "Employees Only", visitors can go inside the museum.
The founder was speaking something by moving mouth, eyes, neck.
The founder paid a visit to Egypt and Japan.
Seasonings used in KFC long time ago were displayed
We left the museum.
We then drove to Indianapolis.
The central part of Indianapolis. I wonder why "CIRCLE CENTRE MALL" on the image is written in British English.
Soldiers & Sailors Monument.
If we visited tomorrow, we could have been able to go up to the top of the monument. But, we couldn't.
The next destination is "Indiana War Memorial & Museum".
Inside the museum.
The museum focuses on wars from US Civil War to 9.11
Japanese items during WWⅡ were also displayed.
We walked back to CIRCLE CENTRE MALL. But, we could see a few people in the mall.
The shopping mall is connected with Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, Conrad Indianapolis, and Embassy Suites by Hilton Indianapolis Downtown by sky deck.
We tried to go back to Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, because we parked the car under the hotel.
But, the entrance of the hotel on the sky deck was closed.
So, we had to take a detour route to go back to the parking lot.
We drove to Chicago and stayed at a hotel in suburb.
Hehei Metro Line 4 extended from Beiyanhu to Shaomaigang today
https://www.urbanrail.net/as/cn/hefei/hefei.htm
It's the branching line of Line 4. The biggest news for train spotters is that some of the newly opened section is the only viaduct section on Hehei Metro Line 4. It would be easier to take train photos.
