The Chicago "L" has a diverse group of stations ranging from 19th century Queen Anne and Italianate to late 20th century modern and almost everything in between. Some are ornate, others are utilitarian. Some are underground, others are grade level structure and still others are elevated high above the ground. This section gives detailed information about most stations on the CTA's "L" system -- past, present, and future.
