29th (CTA Station)
29th was a rapid transit station on the Chicago "L"'s South Side main line. Originally constructed by the South Side Elevated Railroad company, it was one of the original ten stations opened on the Chicago "L", beginning service on June 6, 1892. The South Side Elevated Railroad merged operations with three other companies to form Chicago Elevated Railways (CER) in 1911, before merging outright with them in 1924 to form the Chicago Rapid Transit Company (CRT). Public ownership came to the "L" in 1947 with the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). After the CER merger, the South Side and North Side main lines were through-routed in various patterns with their various branches, and the CTA took to streamlining "L" service on the two simultaneously. The least-patronized regular-service station on the South Side main line for the majority of its existence, 29th closed alongside several other North-South stations on August 1, 1949. The station, and others like it, had two wooden side p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Yellow Line (CTA)
The Yellow Line, alternatively known as the Skokie Swift, is a branch of the Chicago "L" in Chicago, Illinois. The route runs from the Howard Terminal on the north side of Chicago, through the southern part of Evanston and to the Dempster Terminal in Skokie, Illinois making one intermediate stop at Oakton Street in Skokie. At Howard, Yellow Line passengers can transfer to the Purple or Red Lines of the "L". The Yellow Line is the only "L" line that does not go to The Loop and is the only "L" train route that is fully ADA accessible. It is also unique in that it runs in a below-grade trench for part of its length, even though it has no underground portions and does not run in an expressway median. It also includes grade segments and crossings at the northern portion of the line. It was built using the tracks of the former Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad's high-speed Skokie Valley Route. Extending the line to Old Orchard Mall in Skokie has been discussed. At o ...
