    CRT Metropolitan West Side Elevated Line Poster

    $30.00 – $80.00

    In 1895 the Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad began with service from Canal St to Logan Sq. Soon branches were added to Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, and Douglas Park. The Met, as it was known, has seen the most dramatic changes of all the Chicago “L” lines: the Humboldt Park and Logan Sq branches were removed when service was rerouted through the new Milwaukee-Dearborn Subway in 1951 and subsequently extended along the Kennedy Expressway to Jefferson Park in 1970 and then to O’Hare Airport in 1984. The Garfield Park branch was completely rebuilt along the median of Interstate 290 in 1958. In 2008 the Douglas Branch was rerouted along the Paulina Connector (a left over section of track from the old Logan Sq branch) to connect to the Loop and rebranded as the Pink Line.

    CRT Northwestern Elevated Line Poster

    $30.00 – $80.00

    The Northwestern Elevated opened in 1907 and ran from a terminal on North Water St before it connected to Loop. The Main Line ran north to Evanston and a branch was built to Kimball. When the Northwestern was consolidated into the Chicago Rapid Transit Commission a second branch to Skokie was connected which once allowed interurban trains to run from the Loop to Milwaukee. The Northwestern division was split into the Brown, Purple, Yellow, and Red Lines.

    CRT South Side Elevated Line Poster

    $30.00 – $80.00

    The South Side elevated opened in 1892 to serve the Columbian Exposition in 1893 and led to a building boom on the south side of Chicago. A number of branches were added to the line, to Englewood, Normal Park, Kenwood, and the Stock Yards. Today only the Englewood and Jackson Park branches remain while a number of stations have been closed due to low ridership.
