Chicago's El (so aptly named as an abbreviation of "Elevated" although some parts are underground) consists of eight different colored lines that do a pretty good job of covering most of the city.
Chicago station platform in Streeterville
Stairs leading up in the Loop
The Loop, where horse meets elevated rail
Transfering from the red to blue lines (as the ceiling tiles so artistically indicate)
