Each 7000-series rail car will feature LEDs, 37 to 38 seats, and is a hybrid of the 3200-series and 5000-series. As used by CTA, the name is rendered as the capital letter 'L', in single quotation marks. The 3200-series, was built from 1992 until 1994 by Morrison-Knudsen of Hornell, New York. The Roosevelt elevated stop on the Orange and Green Lines, which opened in 1994, is connected to the Roosevelt Red Line subway stop by a pedestrian passage, so CTA reports the two as a single station. With offline CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) and Chicago Metra maps to save data and live line updates, the CTA map is fast so you can ride the L without delays. This program was set to begin in early 2018 and would continue through 2021. [74] Alignment commenting was opened in 2016. The Congress branch, built in the median of the Eisenhower Expressway, replaced the Garfield Park "L" in 1958. In the final days of the Barack Obama administration, the federal government agreed to provide $957 million in funding in total; the rest would come from a tax hike on property owners who lived within 0.5 miles (800 m) of the Red Line. On what became the Blue Line, "A" trains were routed on the Congress branch while "B" trains were sent to the Douglas branch. These studies are the first step in a five-step process. Jane's Urban Transport Systems 1995–96. [citation needed], After 1911, the "L" lines came under the control of Samuel Insull, president of the Chicago Edison electric utility (now Commonwealth Edison), whose interest stemmed initially from the fact that the trains were the city's largest consumer of electricity. Promoting a healthier lifestyle through total wellness. [13] The Union Loop opened in 1897 and greatly increased the rapid transit system's convenience. Discover Chicago. It began operation in June 1892 making it the second oldest rapid transit system in America. Enable JavaScript to see Google Maps. The CPD provides random screenings for explosives. [73] This consists of a new elevated rail line between 95th/Dan Ryan and a new terminal station at 130th Street, paralleling the Union Pacific Railroad and the South Shore Line through the Far South Side neighborhoods of Roseland, Washington Heights, West Pullman, and Riverdale. The Chicago "L" (short for "elevated")[3] is the rapid transit system serving the city of Chicago and some of its surrounding suburbs in the U.S. state of Illinois. The Metropolitan was the United States' first non-exhibition rapid transit system powered by electric traction motors,[11] a technology whose practicality had been demonstrated in 1890 on the "intramural railway" at the World Fair that had been held in Chicago. Operated by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), it is the fourth-largest rapid transit system in the United States in terms of total route length, at 102.8 miles (165.4 km) long as of 2014,[1][note 1] and the third-busiest rail mass transit system in the United States, after the New York City Subway and the Washington Metro. Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) The nation’s second largest public transportation system, the CTA operates Chicago’s eight ‘L’ train lines and 129 bus routes.

Concerns have been raised over possible malware, cyber attacks, and mass surveillance by the Chinese government. [5] Ventra enables passengers to purchase individual tickets, passes, or transit value online, by smart phone, or at participating retail locations. The estimated cost of this line was $3 billion, with no local funding source identified. Insull instituted many improvements, including free transfers and through routing, although he did not formally combine the original firms into the Chicago Rapid Transit Company until 1924. The CTA ‘L’ System map shows train routes only. From North/Clybourn, the subway would run south along Larrabee Street, then under the Chicago River to Clinton Street in the West Loop. [51], During the 2000s and 2010s, the CTA has completed several renovation and new construction projects. "We are looking forward to providing our south Red Line customers with improved stations that are cleaner, brighter and better than they have been in years," said CTA President Forrest Claypool. An underground line running along the lake shore would connect some of the city's major tourist destinations, but this plan has not been widely discussed. [28], In 2015, the CTA introduced a new fare payment system called Ventra. [50], In late 2015, extensive 4G wireless coverage was added to both Blue and Red Line subways, with the $32.5 million installation cost paid for by T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon. Since 1993, "L" lines have been officially identified by color,[33] although older route names survive to some extent in CTA publications and popular usage to distinguish branches of longer lines. 2191x2497 / 1,24 Mb Go to Map. [86] This would have alleviated congestion at the current Midway terminal. Map of Chicago area hotels: Locate Chicago hotels on a map based on popularity, price, or availability, and see Tripadvisor reviews, photos, and deals. With 509 cars in operation, the 2600-series is the largest of the three series of "L" cars in operation, The cars were rebuilt by Alstom of Hornell, New York from 1999 until 2002. [91][93], Airport Express service to O'Hare International Airport and Midway to and from a downtown terminal on State Street. This map was created by a user. The map shows both the CSL and "L" systems, but only depicts the "L" stations where transfers can be made. Remember what I said about El Historias?

[48][49], In discussing various stylings of "Loop" and "L" in Destination Loop: The Story of Rapid Transit Railroading in and around Chicago (1982), author Brian J. Cudahy quotes a passage from The Neon Wilderness (1947) by Chicago author Nelson Algren: "beneath the curved steel of the El, beneath the endless ties." In Chicago, the term "subway" only applies to the State Street and Milwaukee–Dearborn subways and is not applied to the entire system as a whole, as in New York City where both the elevated and underground portions make up the New York City Subway. The Chicago "L" is a rapid transit system that serves the city of Chicago and seven of its surrounding suburbs. This station opened in 2015. Payment by a smartphone app, the Ventra app, or by a contactless bankcard is possible. The system was designed to speed up lines by having trains skip stations while still allowing for frequent service at the heavily used "AB" stations. [12] Two years later the South Side "L" introduced multiple-unit control, in which the operator can control all the motorized cars in a train, not just the lead unit. [98] In the meantime, CTA announced that due to cost overruns, it would only complete the shell of the Block 37 station; its president said "it would not make sense to completely build out the station or create the final tunnel connections until a partner is selected because final layout, technology and finishes are dependent on an operating plan."[99]. "L" (with double quotation marks) was often used by CTA predecessors such as the Chicago Rapid Transit Company; however, the CTA uses single quotation marks (') on some printed materials and signs rather than double. Designed by noted bridge builder John Alexander Low Waddell, the elevated tracks used a multiple close-rivet system to withstand the forces of the passing trains' kinetic energy. [70], This new rail service proposal under active consideration by CTA is currently undergoing Alternatives Analysis Studies.[71]. Chicago Transit Authority, "Rail System – Nov. 1980 traffic," Table V, OP-x81085, 5-22-81, Chicago Transit Authority, "Rail System – Weekday Entering Traffic Trends," PSP-x01013, 8-16-01, CTA, "Rail System – Annual Traffic: Originating passengers only," OP-x79231, 10-01-79. [42] If the rail cars prove to be acceptable, then full production cars would be delivered starting in October 2020, at a rate of 10 cars per month. Italics denote lines or services which are no longer in operation. [109][110], As of 2018, the Chicago Police Department (CPD)'s Public Transportation Unit, and the police departments of Evanston, Skokie, Forest Park, and Oak Park patrol the CTA system. The following navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. [82][79], Early conceptual planning divided the Circle Line into three segments. From this point, Green Line trains made all stops along the entire route, while Red Line trains stopped at all stations south of Harrison. [68] Construction of the project began on October 2, 2019 and is scheduled for completion in 2025. Station signage carried the station's skip-stop letter and was also color-coded by skip-stop type; "A" stations had red signage, "B" stations had green signage, and "AB" stations had blue signage. Station signage highlighting the former skip-stop patterns would remain into the 2000s, when it was gradually replaced across the system.[17]. This is a collection of Chicago rapid transit track maps. This page was last edited on 8 January 2021, at 23:47. The 2003 Chicago Central Area Plan proposed construction of a Green Line station at Cermak, midway between Chinatown and the McCormick Place convention center, in expectation of continued density growth in the vicinity. Surrey, United Kingdom: Jane's Information Group; 1995. p78. [43] If the CTA ordered the additional 446 cars, they would replace the 3200-series cars. These cars have fluted, stainless steel sides similar to the now-retired 2200-series. We trust that this usage can be ascribed to a publisher's editor in New York or some other east coast city; in Chicago the same expression is routinely rendered 'L'.". Ridership has been growing steadily after the CTA takeover despite declining mass transit usage nationwide, with an average of 594,000 riders boarding each weekday in 1960[19] and 759,866 in 2016 (or 47% of all CTA rides). This period of relative prosperity ended when Insull's empire collapsed in 1932, but later in the decade the city with the help of the federal government accumulated sufficient funds to begin construction of two subway lines to supplement and, some hoped, permit eventual replacement of the Loop elevated; as early as the 1920s some city leaders wanted to replace the "ugly" elevated tracks and these plans advanced in the 1970s under mayors Richard J. Daley and Michael Bilandic until a public outcry against tearing down the popular "L" began, led by Chicago Tribune columnist Paul Gapp, and architect Harry Weese. [7][8] However, portions of the network are also in subway tunnels, at grade level, or in open cuts. After the completion of the order of the 2600-series cars, Budd changed its name to Transit America and ceased production of railcars. The CTA System Map shows both CTA Bus and Rail lines, as well as connecting services provided by other transit agencies in Chicago and surrounding communities. [1], In a 2005 poll, Chicago Tribune readers voted it one of the "seven wonders of Chicago", behind the lakefront and Wrigley Field, but ahead of Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower), the Water Tower, the University of Chicago, and the Museum of Science and Industry. Another problem was that trains skipping stations to save time still could not pass the train that was directly ahead, so skipping stations was not advantageous in all regards. These generally show the routes and stations of the "L" TM , sometimes with varying degrees of geographical accuracy … The historic maps are digitized as they were originally published. 98. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, the second most populous county in the United States, after Los Angeles County, California. [84] Preliminary engineering work was performed on Phase 2. AC propulsion allows for smoother acceleration, lower operational costs, less wear and tear, and greater energy efficiency. [56], The Brown Line Capacity Expansion Project enabled CTA to run eight-car trains on the Brown Line, and rebuilt stations to modern standards, including handicap accessibility. Upon the project's completion, Chicago became the largest American city with 4G Internet service in all of its subways and tunnels, a total of 22 miles (35 km). Downtown Chicago Transit Map Points of Interest Adler Planetarium H6 Amtrak–Chicago Union Station E2 Art Institute of Chicago E5 Beaches: Oak St, A5, Ohio St, C6, 12th St, H6 Buckingham Fountain F5 Chicago Architecture Center D5 Chicago Board of Trade Cermak–McCormick Place F3 A/B skip-stop service debuted on the Lake Street Elevated in 1948, and the service proved effective as travel times were cut by a third. Pink Line trains then proceed via the Paulina Connector to the Lake Street branch of the Green Line and then clockwise around the Loop elevated via Lake-Wabash-Van Buren-Wells. A business plan prepared for CTA called for a private firm to manage the venture with service starting in 2008. I started a petition to get Google to change this. [68], These projects are currently not being pursued by the CTA because of the cost and the concerns of residents. [5] Due to the Loop Flood in April 1992, ridership was at 418,000 that year[20] because CTA was forced to suspend operation for several weeks in both the State and Dearborn subways, used by the most heavily traveled lines. [50], One of the largest reconstruction projects in the CTA's history, at a cost of $425 million, was the Red Line South reconstruction project. [79], A proposed extension of the Orange Line would have provided transit service from the current terminus, Midway International Airport, to the Ford City Mall, which was originally meant to be the Orange Line's southern terminus when the line was planned in the 1980s. Eight lines and 143 stations are serving the passengers of the "L" (abbreviation from elevated). It would run through the West Loop, connecting the Red Line near North/Clybourn to the Red Line again, near Cermak-Chinatown. All Categories; Attractions; Food & Drink Existing stations would provide service near the United Center. [53], In late 2007, trains were forced to operate at reduced speed over more than 22% of the system due to deteriorated track, structure, and other problems. Currently the newest series of CTA rapid transit fleet, the 5000-series train cars are equipped with AC propulsion; interior security cameras; aisle-facing seating, which allow for greater passenger capacity; LED destination signs, interior readouts, and interior maps; GPS; glow-in-the-dark evacuation signs; operator-controlled ventilation systems; among other features. This track section has since been restored and service on the 54th/Cermak branch was transferred to the Pink Line. All lines used the A/B skip-stop service between the 1950s and the 1990s with the exception of the Evanston and Skokie lines, which were suburban-only lines and did not justify skip-stop service. The "L" provides 24-hour service on the Red and Blue Lines and is one of only five rapid transit systems in the United States to do so. [101] CTA has also had incidents where operators apparently overrode automatic train stops on red signals, such as the 1977 collision at Wabash and Lake, when four cars of a Lake-Dan Ryan train fell from the elevated structure, killing 11,[102] two minor incidents in 2001,[103] and two more in 2008, the more serious involving a Green Line train that derailed and straddled the split in the elevated structure at the 59th Street junction between the Ashland and East 63rd Street branches,[104] and a minor one near 95th Street on the Red line. The Circle Line concept garnered significant public interest and media coverage. The contemporary track maps were rendered for Chicago-L.org. [106][107][108], Recent studies have highlighted the Belmont and 95th stops on the Red Line being the "most dangerous." At present the "L" does not provide direct service between the Metra commuter rail terminals in the West Loop and Michigan Avenue, the principal shopping district, nor does it offer convenient access to popular downtown destinations such as Navy Pier, Soldier Field, and McCormick Place. The State Street subway opened on October 17, 1943;[14][15] the Dearborn Subway, on which work had been suspended during World War II, opened on February 25, 1951. Numerous plans have been advanced over the years to reorganize downtown Chicago rapid transit service, originally with the intention of replacing the elevated Loop lines with subways. Although the more recent maps, dating from 2002, are largely broken up based on different routes, they are not route maps per se, showing the logical routings of the passenger trains. Chicago was incorporated as a town in 1833, near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed. In 2002, 25-year-old Joseph Konopka, self-styled as "Dr. Over the next year, service was extended to 63rd Street and Stony Island Avenue, then the Transportation Building of the World's Columbian Exposition in Jackson Park. [citation needed] CTA's Slow Zone Elimination Project is an ongoing effort to restore track work to conditions where trains no longer have to reduce speeds through deteriorating areas. On April 28, 1995, the last of the A/B skip-stop system was eliminated with the conversion of the O'Hare branch of the Blue Line and the Howard branch of the Red Line to all-stop service. Over the next few years CTA modernized the "L", replacing wooden cars with new steel ones and closing lightly used branch lines and stations, many of which had been spaced only a quarter-mile apart. [90] The rapid transit level would connect to the existing Blue Line subway at its north and south ends, making possible the "Blue Line loop", envisioned as an underground counterpart to the Loop elevated. [80] The Circle Line would connect several different Metra lines with the "L" system, and would facilitate transfers between existing CTA lines; these connections would be situated near the existing Metra and "L" lines' maximum load points. Instead, then new Mayor Jane Byrne protected the elevated lines and directed their rehabilitation.[13]. The top level would be a pedestrian mezzanine, buses would operate in the second level, rapid transit trains in the third level, and commuter/high-speed intercity trains in the bottom level. As time went by, the time periods which employed skip-stop service gradually decreased, as the waits at "A" and "B" stations became increasingly longer during non-peak service. The Green Line Ashland branch received track work in 2013, prior to the Red Line Dan Ryan branch reconstruction. In addition to the new line, CTA planned to build four new stations as part of Phase 2, although three out of the four would be located along existing lines that the Circle Line will utilize. [87], A proposed extension of the Yellow Line would have provided transit service from the current terminus, at Dempster Street, to the corner of Old Orchard Road and the Edens Expressway, just west of the Westfield Old Orchard shopping center. [62], The new Wilson Station officially reopened in October 2017. The elimination of A/B skip-stop service continued with the opening of the all-stop Orange Line and the conversion of the Brown Line to all-stop service. As of 2014, Chicago "L" trains run over a total of 224.1 miles (360.7 km) of track.[1]. CTA estimated that Phase 3 would be far more costly than Phase 2 due to its being underground. Ventra also works with CTA buses, Pace (suburban buses), and Metra (commuter rail). Also what was on the maps posted at the L stations. [111], On September 24, 2019, a Brown Line train collided with a Purple Line train near Sedgwick on the North Side Main Line during the morning rush hour. [9], The first "L", the Chicago and South Side Rapid Transit Railroad, began revenue service on June 6, 1892, when a steam locomotive pulling four wooden coaches, carrying more than a couple of dozen people, departed the 39th Street station and arrived at the Congress Street Terminal 14 minutes later,[10] over tracks that are still in use by the Green Line. Left and right arrows move through main tier links and expand / close menus in sub tiers. From May 19, 2013 through October 20, 2013, the project closed and rebuilt the entire Dan Ryan branch — replacing and rebuilding all the tracks, ties, ballast and drainage systems — from Cermak-Chinatown to 95th/Dan Ryan. ", "Chicago remade its 127-year-old rapid transit system. Roosevelt/Paulina would be located on the Pink Line in the Illinois Medical District. But there have been continued calls to improve transit within the city's greatly enlarged central core. Basic engineering, along with an environmental impact statement, were underway in 2010. Map is not drawn to scale. Yerkes, who controlled much of the city's streetcar system, obtained the necessary signatures through cash and guile—at one point he secured a franchise to build a mile-long "L" over Van Buren Street from Wabash Avenue to Halsted Street, extracting the requisite majority from the pliable owners on the western half of the route, then building tracks chiefly over the eastern half, where property owners had opposed him. Check out our Popular Destinations page! Left … Konopka had picked the original locks on several doors in the tunnels, then changed the locks so that he could access the rarely used storage rooms freely. [57] Before the project, Brown Line platforms could only accommodate six-car trains, and increasing ridership led to uncomfortably crowded trains. [note 2] The oldest sections of the "L" started operations in 1892,[5] making it the second-oldest rapid transit system in the Americas, after New York City's elevated lines. After a number of alternate plans were evaluated, in 2009 CTA adopted the "locally preferred alternative" (LPA),[82] which stopped Circle Line work after Phase 2, and Phase 3 was relegated to a "long term vision".
