Anchored

Father Dearborn and another man (Dever's Traction efforts) sit in a sail boat (Chicago, Illinois). The sail (elevated system) is up, one man is using oars (surface lines), but the boat does not move due to the submerged anchor (subway need). A commentary on Chicago's debate over whether to build an elevated or subway rail system.
