Once bustling hubs of activity, several Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) L stations now stand abandoned, their platforms empty and their ticket booths closed. These defunct stations, though no longer in operation, still hold a special place in the city’s history.
One such station is the Wells Street Terminal, which served as a major transfer point for passengers traveling between downtown and the North Side. Closed in 1973, the station now sits unused, its once vibrant concourse a ghostly reminder of its former glory.
Another abandoned station is the Logan Square Blue Line stop, which shut its doors in 1970. Once a key stop along the city’s Northwest Side, the station now sits quietly amidst the bustling neighborhood it once served.
The article highlights several other defunct stations, including the Wilson station on the Red Line, the Halsted station on the Green Line, and the 58th Street station on the Metra Electric Line. Each station has its own unique story to tell, from changes in neighborhood demographics to shifts in transportation priorities.
Despite their closure, these abandoned stations serve as a reminder of the ever-changing landscape of Chicago’s public transportation system. While new stations have opened and others have undergone renovations, the ghosts of these defunct stations linger on, whispering stories of a bygone era.
