Glenview and La Grange in Metra Territory

This is a bit of an unusual update but one I’m making to try and get all the Amtrak stations I can on the website. It is 3 stations in Metra territory, the Chicago Commuter Rail system that I’ve also written a rudimentary home page for: Glenview–(24 Photos) La Grange Road–(60 Photos) Stone Avenue–(51 Photos) […]

All of the Chicago ‘L’ is done! The rest of the CTA Blue Line!

The Lake Branch of the CTA Green Line out to Oak Park

With this update I can finally call the Green Line complete (except Harlem lacks a description because I’ve got to go back there and have very few photos and also need to decide if a combined section with Metra makes sense or have them separate): Harlem–(7 Photos) Oak Park–(20 Photos) Ridgeland–(10 Photos) Austin–(22 Photos) Central–(20 […]

The Rerouted CTA Red Line Down the Southside Elevated with the Green Line

I’ve been working on a few big projects over the past few weeks and keep not getting any of them finished enough to warrant an actual update. I also haven’t gone anywhere in the past week and a half, after an uneventful not transit based car ride driving my grandmother back from our Summer House […]

The CTA Blue Line Milwaukee Subway and Elevated

Well my hope was to try and make it all the way out O’Hare this evening but I didn’t quite have a chance instead this update will complete the Blue Line as it was (except Logan Square was above ground not underground) in the 1950s when the Dearborn-Milwaukee Subway opened but before the Eisenhower Expressway […]

CTA Additions: The 2 Missing Purple Line Stations and in the Loop (with the diverted Green Line signs)

After Monday’s upload of Amtrak Station’s in Wisconsin I decided it was finally time to get through and finish up Chicago. I’m postponing Boston until after next week because I’m headed up to Maine next week and will have a couple of hours between my Acela train arriving (I could take a Regional an hour later […]

Upload: Most of the Dearborn Street Subway

Well, the photos I have of the Blue Line Stations out to O’Hare are extremely fragmented but I thought I might as well at least include the pictures I have of the downtown stations. Only two of these six have summaries: Grand–(14 photos) Clark/Lake–(11 photos) Washington–(20 photos) Monroe–(13 photos) Jackson–(20 photos) Clinton–(19 photos) Enjoy!

Upload: The State Street Subway

In this update I have at least a few photos of every station on the CTA Red Line State Street Subway, although only half the stations have summeries meaning I need to revisit the others to make the stations ‘complete’. Here are the 9 stations in Chicago’s original Subway mostly beneath State Street that opened […]

Upload: The Douglas Branch of the Chicago Blue Line

Well, my plan was to make the next update of the middle of the Red Line, the State Street Subway but I was overly dithering with myself over how to address downtown with its continuos platform plus a station I visited in the midst of a renovation. I needed a break and a branch that […]

The North Side Main Line: The Northern Portion of the Red Line

In this update I’ve finished off the 12 stations on the Red Line that Purple Line Express Trains bypass on their long express run between Belmont and Howard. This four track line has a layout that exists nowhere in New York City, the local stops (except for 2, which express trains could stop at) with […]
