The Blue Line and Red Line are the only two routes on the CTA rail system to presently run 24 hours a day. Service to 54th/Cermak no longer operates. The CTA Pink Line serves all stations on the 54th and Cermak branch. The Red Line (Howard-Dan Ryan Service) is a heavy rail line in Chicago, run by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) as part of the Chicago L system. ...
The Blue Line was formerly called the West-Northwest route or more commonly, the O'Hare-Congress-Douglas route for its three branches. The Congress and Douglas branches were renamed for their respective terminals, Forest Park and 54th/Cermak, when the current color naming system was adopted in 1993, however many Chicago historians and expert 'L' riders still refer to the old route names. As of May 2008, service to 54/ Cermak no longer operates.
O'Hare Branch
 The Blue Line terminus at O'Hare International Airport The O'Hare Branch is the longest section of the Blue Line (14.6 miles) and comprises the oldest and newest segments of the entire route. It begins at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport underneath the main parking garage. It runs in subway to a portal location in the airport grounds then climbs to the surface in the median of the Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 190) about a mile west of Mannheim Road. The rapid transit line follows the Kennedy east through Rosemont then tunnels beneath the Kennedy Expressway/Northwest Tollway interchange near the Des Plaines River and continues in the median of the Kennedy Expressway (now Interstate 90) east and southeast towards the city to another subway portal just south of Addison Street. The line then runs in a short subway connection (built in 1970) under Kimball and Milwaukee Avenues through Logan Square to another portal. Here, the line climbs onto elevated structure paralleling Milwaukee Avenue (built in 1895) and continuing southeast towards downtown Chicago.

Douglas Branch reroute (Pink Line) In January 2005, the CTA held hearings on its proposal to reroute much of the Douglas Branch service via the recently rebuilt Paulina Connector to the Lake Street Green Line, carrying Douglas trains to and around the elevated Chicago Loop (clockwise) for the first since Douglas trains began using the Milwaukee-Dearborn-Congress Subway in downtown Chicago in 1958. It was the first stage of what became the "Pink Line". This would have allowed a doubling of Blue Line trains to Forest Park on the Congress Branch, since service would no longer be divided between the Forest Park and Cicero terminals, however, due to community fears that the Pink Line would not be enough, the CTA has promised that 54th/Cermak-bound Blue Line service would remain in service during weekday rush hours. The Green Line (Lake-Englewood & Lake-Jackson Park Services) is part of the CTA rapid transit system known as the Chicago L. It is the only completely elevated route in the L system. ...

History The most vintage components of the Blue Line began as part of the Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad in 1895. The first section to be built by this company extended west in the vicinity of Van Buren Street from an independent downtown terminal at Franklin and Jackson Streets to Marshfield Avenue, and thence northward in the vicinity of Paulina Street to Damen and Milwaukee Avenues. Service on this section was started May 6, 1895. The structure was completed from Damen Avenue to Logan Square on May 25, 1895.

On February 25, 1951, Chicago's second subway route (#2), Milwaukee-Dearborn-Congress, was placed in operation by CTA, connecting the Milwaukee Avenue elevated route (formerly Logan Square) with the Central Business District on a fast, efficient and more direct routing through the heart of the city. With opening of the Dearborn Subway, the old elevated alignment between Evergreen and Marshfield Avenues was therefore closed and used only for moving out-of-service rail cars. The north section of this connection between Evergreen Avenue and Lake Street was subsequently demolished in 1960's, leaving the Lake Street Branch-to-Douglas Branch section or the "Paulina Connector" still in existence. is the 56th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The Garfield Park elevated was replaced by the Congress route on June 22, 1958, pioneering the world's first use of rail rapid transit and a multi-lane automobile expressway in the same grade-separated right-of-way. (Pacific Electric Railway "Red Car" tracks ran in the median of the Cahuenga Parkway in Los Angeles from 1944 until its expansion into the Hollywood Freeway in 1954, but the Pacific Electric service was an interurban streetcar rather than true rapid transit.) It connects with the Milwaukee-Dearborn-Congress Subway at the Chicago River and extends westward to Des Plaines Avenue, Forest Park. An incline connection en route permits Douglas trains to operate through the subway as well. Thus, in June, 1958, the second through service in Chicago was created, the West-Northwest route. is the 173rd day of the year (174th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

A five-mile extension of the route via the short subway connection and the Kennedy Expressway median between Logan Square and Jefferson Park was added on February 1, 1970. It was also built by the City of Chicago using federal monies. From Logan Square, trains veers off of the old elevated structure and enters the subway under Milwaukee and Kedzie Avenues to a portal just south of Addison Street, then continues northwest in the median of the Kennedy Expressway to the temporary terminal at Jefferson Park. In January, 1979, construction began on the O'Hare Airport extension of the Kennedy route between Jefferson Park and the airport. The first section between Jefferson Park and Rosemont was placed in service on February 27, 1983, and the final section to O'Hare International Airport on September 3, 1984.

In 1993, the Chicago Transit Authority adopted a color-coded naming system to the rapid transit system, and the West-Northwest route (OHare-Congress/Douglas) became the Blue Line. On April 26, 1998, the Douglas Branch lost its overnight (owl) and weekend service and began operating between 4 a.m. and 1 a.m. on weekdays only as a result of funding shortages requiring CTA cut services. Congress (Forest Park) service was effectively doubled through much of the day since service frequency from O'Hare required shorter headways than what would have been left.

Year 1998 (MCMXCVIII) was a common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar). ...
One reason for the Douglas Branch reduction in service was due to its low ridership, badly deteriorated condition, and funding problems, while many residents in the communities it runs through had claimed that it was just another attempt by the CTA to deter transit service on the West Side.
In September, 2001, the CTA began a historic reconstruction of the Douglas Branch to repair its aging infrastructure. The work was officially completed on January 5, 2005 with new elevated structures, track, stations, new communiciation networks and an upgraded traction power system along the route. On January 1, 2005, weekend service was restored. For other uses, see September (disambiguation). ...

Expansion For the past twenty years, there had been talk of extending the O'Hare branch of the Blue Line westward to Schaumburg, but this has recently been changed with the recent developments involving the planning of the Metra "STAR" Line and various other transportation projects.

However, in 2008, the Regional Transit Authority revealed a plan to possibly expand commuter rail and bus service to the RTA board, which included an 13.3 mile extension of the Blue Line on an east-west route from its current western terminus at Forest Park to as far west as the Yorktown shopping center in DuPage County. Several feeder bus routes would also be implented along the route in order to supplement ridership and increase usefulness. The prospect of this extension was also listed in the Chicago region's 2030 long-term master plan. [3] DuPage County is a county located in the state of Illinois. ...
At this point, the project is only conceptual and its cost is pegged around $5.5 billion dollars to complete, far greater than various other RTA projects on the drawing board. Public hearings will be held in April of 2008 and in the summer, the RTA will begin further planning along with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and other transportation agencies. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) was created to integrate planning for land use and transportation in the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will. ...
