Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	The old Halsted station on the Metropolitan main line, and its replacement on the Congress branch
Author or copyright owner	George Krambles
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: Chicago-L.org Immediate source: https://www.chicago-l.org/stations/UofI-halsted.html
Date of publication	2000s
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Metropolitan main line
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	The Metropolitan main line was demolished to make way for the Congress branch in the 1950s, well after the public-domain threshold. This image depicts said demolition; it also depicts the old Halsted station's replacement under construction.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	The Metropolitan main line was demolished to make way for the Congress branch in the 1950s, well after the public-domain threshold.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This is the only post-1890s photo used in the article; given the transient nature of the events depicted, it also can never be reproduced in a free format.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The Krambles-Peterson archive loaned the image to Chicago-L.org with a low-quality version. This particular image is even lower-quality, cropping out watermarks from Chicago-L.org; that, combined with the niche context of the image, means that any commercial interests will not be harmed.
