Howard CTA Station
Howard CTA Station
Howard is a station on the Chicago 'L' system, located at 1649 West Howard Street in Chicago, Illinois (directional coordinates 7600 north, 1700 west). It is the northernmost station on the CTA Red Line (and the outlying terminus of the North Side Main Line), and also has connections with the Yellow Line and the Purple Line; incidentally, the Yellow Line has one of its two termini here, while the Purple Line does not go south of this station outside of weekday rush hours.
The station is in the Rogers Park neighborhood on the border with Evanston. It was originally opened in 1908 and was rebuilt in 1921. An escalator was added in 1964. A Park and Ride with 634 spaces is provided at this station. The Rogers Park neighborhood, located in the far northeast corner of Chicago, has four El stations (N to S): Howard, Jarvis, Morse, and Loyola.
large maintenance yard and rolling stock storage facility, known as Howard Yard, is just north of the station. Northbound Purple and Yellow Line trains pass through the yard on the way to their respective branches, and Red Line trains travel from the north-bound platform to the south-bound platform via a balloon loop in the yard.
As of 2007 the station is being redeveloped to improve handicapped access and provide an additional entrance from the adjacent bus terminal.

Rogers Park Metra
Rogers Park Metra
Rogers Park is a Metra commuter railroad station in the Rogers Park neighborhood on the north side of Chicago. It is located at 7000 N. Ravenswood Avenue, between W. Greenleaf Avenue and W. Lunt Avenue. In Metra's zone-based fare schedule, Rogers Park is in zone B. The neighborhood that surrounds the station is residential, with single-family houses and small apartment buildings, but just a block to the east is Clark Street, a major north-south artery with buses and shopping. The station has two side platforms, and although it does not contain a ticket agent booth, a heated waiting room is available on the Lunt side between 5:45 AM - 2:00 PM. This line retains the "left-hand main" policy of the original builder, the Chicago and North Western Railway -- Northbound trains stop on the west platform and southbound trains stop on the east platform.
Rogers Park is served by Metra's Union Pacific/North Line trains, traveling between Ogilvie Transportation Center in Chicago and points as far north as Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rogers Park is the northernmost Union Pacific/North Line station in Chicago. Travel time to Ogilvie is usually 20 minutes, but can be up to 23 minutes in peak times.
The closest CTA Red Line station is Morse, located five blocks to the east of Rogers Park station.
