Racine Station (CTA Blue Line)
Racine is an 'L' station on the CTA's Blue Line. The station serves the Near West Side neighborhood and the western end of the UIC campus. History The station opened on June 22, 1958, and is almost identical to every other station built in the median of the Eisenhower Expressway, including an island platform, a small station house on Racine's and Loomis's overpass containing only a ticket booth and turnstiles and a long passageway ramp connecting the two. Service Racine sits at the base of the Loomis ramp, a double-tracked viaduct that rises from the expressway to join the Douglas Branch north of Polk station. Prior to April 28, 2008, the Blue Line split into two branches here.

Racine Station (CTA Metropolitan Main Line)
Racine was a rapid transit station operated by the Chicago "L"'s Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad and located on its main line. The station existed from 1895 to 1954, when it and the other stations on the main line were demolished for construction of the Eisenhower Expressway and its Congress Line. A new station at Racine was built on the Congress Line as a replacement. History The Metropolitan main line opened on May 6, 1895, and one of its several stations was at Centre Avenue, renamed Racine in 1913 alongside the street itself. Skip-stop came to the main line on December 9, 1951, and Racine was designated a "B" station. This lasted until September 1953, when it was upgraded to an "AB" station.

Douglas Park trains started using th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
