The Ruddy Line is a subway/elevated rapid transit line in Chicago, run by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) every bit part of the Chicago "50" system. It is the busiest line on the "50" arrangement, with an average of 209,085 passengers boarding each weekday in 2019.^[1] The route is 26 miles (42 km) long with a total of 33 stations. It runs elevated from the Howard station in the Rogers Park neighborhood on the far North Side of the city, through a subway on the Near North Side, Downtown, and the Southward Loop, and then through the Dan Ryan Expressway median to 95th Street in the Roseland neighborhood on the far Southward Side. Similar Chicago'southward Blue Line, the Red Line runs 24 hours a twenty-four hours, 365 days a year, making Chicago and New York City the only cities in the world that operate railroad train service 24 hours a day throughout their respective city limits. The urban center of Chicago is planning an extension of the Red Line, calculation 5.6 miles and 4 new stations, that would extend the Scarlet Line due south from 95th/Dan Ryan to 130th Street.^[two]

Route [edit]

North Side Main Line [edit]

Berwyn station is typical of stations on the northern department of the Reddish Line

The northern terminus of the Blood-red Line is Howard in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, on the north side. The Red Line extends southeasterly on an elevated embankment structure nigh a half-mile (1 kilometer) due west of the lakefront to Touhy Avenue so turns south forth Glenwood Avenue to Morse station. From there the route swings on a sweeping reverse curve to the east to Sheridan Route, next to Loyola University Chicago and continues southerly parallel to Broadway to the east (in Edgewater) and follows Broadway to Leland Avenue. From here, the route transitions from concrete beach to steel elevated structure. The "L" continues southward running adjacent the Graceland Cemetery, Irving Park Road and Sheffield Avenue from Uptown to Lincoln Park. The Brown Line (Ravenswood) joins the Cherry-red Line tracks just northward of Belmont.

South of Belmont, Red, Brown and Purple Line Express trains run side-by-side on the 4 track N Side "L" to Armitage. Red Line trains run on the two middle tracks, only making two stops at Belmont & Fullerton and skipping Wellington, Diversey and Armitage.

Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, is served by the Addison station. Additionally, Guaranteed Rate Field, domicile of the Chicago White Sox, is served past the Sox–35th station.

The Northward Side Primary Line of the Carmine Line travels from Howard station to Armitage station.

State Street subway [edit]

The southward portal currently used by Red Line trains

During the Dan Ryan co-operative reconstruction, southbound Red Line trains emerged from the State Street subway beneath 13th Street.

After running through Armitage, the Ruby Line descends to a portal at Willow Street and enters the subway, turning southeast on Clybourn Avenue, east at Segmentation Street, and southward at State Street through the Loop to Roosevelt Road. Due south of Roosevelt Route, there is a junction, with one pair of tracks curving to the e and leaving the subway at 13th Street and connecting to the old South Side "L" at 18th and State Streets. This section was used from Oct 17, 1943, until February 21, 1993, when trains from Howard were routed to the Englewood and Jackson Park branches (today the southward branches of the Greenish Line). The 13th Street portal is now used for not-service train moves and emergency purposes. The 13th street portal was used again for regular "Fifty" service from May 19, 2013, until October twenty, 2013, considering Red Line trains were rerouted to the Light-green Line's Southward Side Main Line tracks and terminated at Ashland/63rd during the five months of the Red Line South Reconstruction Projection. This service was used again from April 3, 2017 to Nov 22, 2017 and July 30, 2018 to Apr 26, 2019.

Unique to the Scarlet Line, it is the only Chicago "L" line that connects to all 7 other "Fifty" lines total-time. The Royal Line shares the stardom only when it runs its weekday rush 60 minutes route.

Dan Ryan branch [edit]

At 13th Street, the subway swings away from State Street on a reverse curve to the southwest and so rises to some other portal at 16th Street adjacent Metra's Rock Isle District line. The Red Line leaves at 16th Street and continues southward on an elevated structure to 24th Street. In that location is a end at Cermak–Chinatown on this portion.

South of Cermak Road, the Scarlet Line tracks enter the median strip of the Franklin Street Connector, The Ruby Line and so tunnels beneath the pike interchange between 28th and 30th Streets and continues the residual of the style to 95th Street in the median of the Dan Ryan Freeway (Interstate 90 & 94). Chicago pioneered using state highway medians for local "L" train lines (the other two existence the Eisenhower Expressway and Kennedy Expressways, which both carry portions of the Blue Line). The Red Line follows the Dan Ryan the rest of the way to the 95th Street terminal in Roseland. The 98th K lies just south and due east of the Dan Ryan–Bishop Ford Motorway interchange. Beyond the interchange, the Dan Ryan and Bishop Ford expressways go on towards the city's limits southward without a transit line in the median strip, but with a broad grass median where future extensions of the rapid transit line is an option. An extension to 130th Street is in its concluding planning stages. This extension includes three elevated stations at 103rd, 111th, and Michigan, an at-grade final station at 130th.

Stations along the Ruby Line serve important Chicago landmarks such equally Guaranteed Rate Field and the Illinois Plant of Engineering science (Sox–35th), DePaul University (Fullerton), the Auditorium Building of Roosevelt University and Loyola University Chicago (Loyola), as well equally the Magnificent Mile and Chinatown.

On May nineteen, 2013, at 2 a.thou., the branch, along with all 9 stations, airtight for five months to allow the replacement of the tracks and for structure crews to improve the stations on the branch.^[3] The newly reconstructed Dan Ryan branch and the nine stations reopened on October 20, 2013, at 4 a.k.^[4]

Rolling stock [edit]

The Red Line is operated with the Bombardier-built 5000-series railcars. From 2012 until October 2013, the Red Line was operated with the 2400-series cars, during weekday blitz hours, and from 1993 until 2015, the Carmine Line was operated with the 2600-serial cars. As the 5000-serial cars were delivered, the Red Line's 2600-series cars were transferred to other lines to supercede the 2400-serial cars; from Oct 2013 until April 2014, several of the Cherry-red Line's 2600-series cars were transferred over to the Purple Line as they were displaced on the Carmine Line past the 5000-series cars. Beginning in June 2014, CTA began to transfer the 2600-series cars from the Ruddy Line over to the Blue Line due to them being newer than the existing Blue Line cars, transferring the Blue Line'south older 2600-serial cars to the Orange Line as an interim replacement for its 2400-series cars. Beginning in October 2014, CTA had as well started transferring some of the Red Line'due south 2600-series cars to the Orangish Line, replacing the Orange Line's remaining 2400-serial cars until the Reddish Line was fully equipped with the 5000-series cars.

Operating hours and headways [edit]

Similar the Blue Line, the Red Line runs 24 hours a day. All trains run between Howard and 95th/Dan Ryan stations. On weekdays, service runs very often at 30tph (trains per hour) during rush hour, and 8tph during the midday and nighttime. On Saturdays 6tph in the early morning, then increase to ten–11 tph during the day, and so 8tph at dark. On Sundays, service runs 6tph early on morning, then increase to 8tph minutes all day into early on evening, 6tph later at night. Betwixt approximately midnight and 5:30 a.m., night owl service on the Reddish Line ranges between ten and fifteen minutes (4–vi tph).^[v]

History [edit]

The oldest section of the line opened on May 31, 1900, running from the Loop to Wilson.^{[half dozen]} Information technology was constructed by the Northwestern Elevated Railroad. The route was extended to Central Street in Evanston on May 16, 1908, via leased and electrified trackage belonging to the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway. In November 1913, the North Side "L" was through routed with the S Side "L" lines through the Loop. The ground-level section between Leland Avenue and Howard Street was elevated on a concrete embankment structure and widened to four tracks in 1922.

The Land Street subway opened on October 17, 1943, providing two new tracks bypassing the Loop tracks and the portion of the North and South Side "L" lines not equipped with express tracks. Past providing an express route free of the most restrictive curves on the Chicago "L" and shorter than the quondam line it supplemented, the subway reduced running time by as much equally xi minutes for a one-way trip. The route was placed in operation on Oct 17, 1943,^[7] for a portion of the through n–south trains, although other trains continued to use the "Fifty" both on through trips and on services circling the Loop and returning to the point of origin.

On Baronial 1, 1949, the North–S route was revised to create a more efficient routing through the Key Concern District and handle the heavy volumes of passenger traffic using information technology.^{[viii] [ix]} The Howard branch was paired with the Englewood and Jackson Park branches through the Country Street subway, using the 13th Street portal and the other lines routed to the Loop "L".

The Dan Ryan Branch opened on September 28, 1969, and was paired with the Lake Street branch to form the W-South road, almost universally referred to as the Lake–Dan Ryan road.^[10] It operated over the Lake Street and Wabash Avenue sides of the Marriage Loop. This "acting" service was created mainly for the purpose of providing through service between the westward side and the south side in anticipation of the 1968 Loop Subway Project. When the controversial subway project was cancelled in 1979, the Lake-Dan Ryan service remained and lasted for 24 years.

For much of the 20th century, the Howard–Englewood/Jackson Park route was as uniform in terms of passenger service until the late 1960s through the 1970s. However, rider traffic volumes began to shift on the south side lines, with more riders using the newer Dan Ryan line (which runs four miles (half-dozen km) further due south) and fewer riders on the older "L" lines. This level of ridership allowed the CTA to develop a more efficient system by combining the more heavily used track lines together and combining the other lines together, providing increased service capacity for the routes that need it. The Cherry Line was created in 1993, when the CTA adopted colour-coded system for all of its "L" routes. On February 21, 1993, a new connection opened from the State Street subway southward of Roosevelt to Cermak–Chinatown. The Howard co-operative was paired with the Dan Ryan branch creating the current Reddish Line and the Lake Street branch was paired with the Englewood and Jackson Park branches to class the Dark-green Line. A further operational benefit of this switch was that this freed upward capacity in the Loop needed for the addition of the Orange Line to Midway Drome. The former tracks used to move West-South trains from the Loop to the Dan Ryan line are still retained for non-revenue moves and service disruptions.

The Dan Ryan Branch of the Blood-red Line underwent a rehabilitation period to improve its crumbling infrastructure which concluded in early on 2007.^[eleven] This work included upgrading the ability and signal systems, and rehabilitating the stations with improved lighting, a cleaner appearance, and new escalators and elevators. The CTA has plans to aggrandize Red Line service to ten car trains from the current eight-car trains.^[12]

Blood-red Ahead and proposed extension [edit]

In spring 2012, the CTA started a station and track rehabilitation program dubbed "Red Alee",^[13] beginning on the North Side Main Line, which is called the "Red North" project.^[14] The plan monitors the full road of the Blood-red Line, excluding the Loyola, Bryn Mawr, Sheridan, or Wilson station.^[xv] This likewise doesn't include stations between Wilson through Fullerton, nor the State Street subway. In May 2012, the CTA started to piece of work on the N Side Main Line stations of the Red Line which includes Jarvis, Morse, Granville, Thorndale, Berwyn, Argyle and Lawrence. The stations are listed in order, starting at Granville, and so Morse, Thorndale, Argyle, Berwyn, Lawrence and finally Jarvis. This project started in June 2012 and was completed in December 2012. This projection is also role of the Red Ahead'south "Red & Purple Modernization" Project.^[16]

The Ruby-red & Purple Modernization Project volition include a redesign of a diamond junction north of Belmont Station into a flyover for Chocolate-brown Line trains. This project will decrease train backups and increase the number of trains that can cantankerous the junction per hr.^[17] The project was criticized by 2015 mayoral candidate Chuy García and local residents in the Lakeview neighborhood who organized a referendum to stop it.^{[18] [xix]} The Federal Transit Administration passed the CTA'south environmental review on the flyover in January 2016 and received a $1.1 billion federal grant the following year.^{[twenty] [21]} xvi backdrop afflicted past the flyover were demolished. Construction began on October 2, 2019^{[22] [23] [24]} and the flyover entered service on November 19, 2021.^[25]

Since 2006^[update], proposals have been underway to extend the Red Line south from 95th Street. The CTA developed nine different proposed routes, i of which includes routing the Cherry-red Line down the median of the Bishop Ford Freeway and another in the median of Interstate 57. During an alternatives analysis meeting on April 11, 2007, CTA narrowed further study down to five possible routes, two for motorbus rapid transit and three for heavy track (rapid) transit. The two bus routes would travel due south from the 95th/Dan Ryan terminal either downwards Halsted Street or Michigan Avenue, while the heavy rail routes left for consideration were the Halsted and Michigan corridors (either underground or elevated) as well as the Union Pacific Railroad corridor (elevated or trench), which would traverse southeastward toward the Southward Shore Line. In October 2008, the CTA commissioned a $150,000 study of an extension due south to 130th/Stony Isle in the community area of Riverdale.^[26]

In December 2008, at the Screen 2 presentation of the federally mandated Alternatives Assay Study, the possible corridors and modes of transit were furthered narrowed downwardly to either Halsted Street (bus rapid transit or elevated Heavy Rail Transit) and the Union Pacific Railroad corridor (elevated Heavy Runway Transit).^[27]

In Dec 2009, the CTA identified the locally preferred culling as the Union Pacific corridor.^[28] A map and description of the route are found at TransitChicago.com.^[28] Multiple Environmental Affect Studies will exist carried out, and will determine exact alignments and design.^{[28] [29]}

The alignment consists of a new elevated rail line between 95th/Dan Ryan and a new terminal station at 130th Street, paralleling the Union Pacific Railroad and the Due south Shore Line through the Far South Side neighborhoods of Roseland, Washington Heights, West Pullman and Riverdale. In addition to the terminal station at 130th, three new stations would be built at 103rd, 111th, and Michigan, and a new grand and shop would be built at 120th street.^[30] Basic engineering, along with an environmental impact statement, are currently underway.^[31]

Station listing [edit]

Runway yards [edit]

There are 2 rail yards for the Red Line cars: Howard Yard, for the northern portion of the line and the 98th Yard for the southern portion of the line. Another yard, the 120th Yard has been proposed every bit function of the Cherry Line extension.^[32]
