Chicago El
The
Chicago L is an urban elevated train system in the
Chicago area. Unlike similar systems in
New York, Boston, and
Washington DC, the "L" is mostly elevated. (In New York, however, most of the train lines in
Bronx,
Brooklyn and
Queens are elevated, but the many lines in
Manhattan are not.) This makes the Chicago L as the only system in North America to be almost entirely elevated.
There are several lines, all colored:
- Blue
- Red
- Green
- Orange
- Brown
- Purple
- Yellow
The only underground sections of the "L" are the Blue and Red lines in downtown.
