Actually, if you could tilt the image ~2 degrees and crop it just above the rail tracks, the distortion might be way less obvious. Nergaal (talk) 22:33, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Cropping above the rail tracks would not be beneficial to the project in terms of encyclopedic content. The trains going through the park is a part of the content that makes this image historical.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:02, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
