Summary

Description
English: Original caption: Rapid Transit: "TYPICAL STREET INTERSECTION -- CHICAGO." Centennial History: "SECTIONAL VIEW OF THE ILLINOIS TUNNEL COMPANY'S TUNNELS." This is the version from the Centennial History, as it was printed with higher resolution and without retouching.
Date
Source Rapid Tranist in New York City and Other Great Cities, The Chamber of Commerce of the City of New York, 1905; page 245. Chapter XXIII, Chicago's Business Interests, Centennial History of the City of Chicago -- Its Men and Institutions, Inter Ocean Press, Chicago, 1905; page 202.
Author Neither source gives photo credit, but the photo is probably an anonymous work for hire provided by the Illinois Tunnel Company.
Other versions
Probably not the same intersection, and with the camera pulled back so you can see the pointwork.
