The Red Line is an elevated railway line in Chicago and part of the elevated railway system Chicago'L '. It is operated by the Chicago Transit Authority. With over 50.5 million passengers per year, it is the most widely used range of 'L'.

History

The oldest part of today's Red Line is the southern part of the Howard Line, which was opened in 1900. The section of State Street Subway was built in 1943. The southern section Dan Ryan branch was largely put into operation in 1969. Today's line was established in 1993 by connecting the three sub- sections to a large line. For this purpose it was necessary to build an underground link between State Street Subway and Dan Ryan branch.

Starting May 19, 2013, the Dan Ryan branch is fully closed due to renovation work for five months. Instead of trains, buses.
