Google Maps One Car train?

[joerailfan2015]

While I was playing with Google maps (lol), I noticed that there is one lone car train on the Lake branch of the green/pink line at Desplaines st. and Lake st. There is a train approaching that train at Green st and Lake st. Is this possible for a train to be unpaired and by it self?

You get weird stuff like this all the time on Google Maps. It's where two photos were stitched together, and something was moving at the time, so that the train was in one of the photo frames, but not in the next one.

It's quite obvious here, because if you look just below the east end of that car, you see that the structure isn't perfectly aligned. That's because the next photo was stitched, and was ever so slightly misaligned.

Plus street view and satellite view don't always match up. Was looking at the Quad Cities. Satellite shows a GP-38 (As evidences by the rooftop fans) sitting in the old DRI Line yard in Rock Island, but street view shows a cut of cars and no locomotive.

There's some interesting things to be seen the way Google stitches the images, like airplane contrails that seem to have come from nowhere. If kids weren't so tech savvy nowadays, I'd love to try and make some of them believe in aliens using those kinds of pictures.

Street view and satellite probably wouldn't match, because Google has the car (sometimes autonomous) going around the streets. One would think that the satellite would match itself, but I noted earlier that the zoom on the Lake Shore Drive extension at 79th seemed to show different stages of construction. Supposedly, that's done next Sunday, BTW.
