History and location

Canal

Opening in 1893 as part of the newly-opened Lake Street Elevated, the Canal station was located above Canal Street west of the Chicago River and railroads leading up to Union Station. The station eventually closed in 1909, which was replaced by the newly-opened Clinton station a block west.

Clinton

It is the closest 'L' station to the Ogilvie Transportation Center, whose platforms directly abut Clinton. The stations were connected in 1970 with a passageway, called the "Northwest Passage", linking it to the Chicago and North Western Terminal. The passageway closed in 1990 when the C&NW Terminal was rebuilt as Ogilvie Transportation Center, replaced by a holding track for Metra trains.
