Welcome to the Gray Line website | ![]() |
| Detailed information is available here about the Gray Line proposal: Converting the in-city Metra Electric lines into a CTA "L" operation: An inexpensive and cost efficient proposal to provide CTA rapid transit to the SE Lakefront Corridor. Launching the Gray Line would provide a brand new CTA rapid transit service (on EXISTING facilities) to Grant Park, the Museum Campus, the newly renovated Soldier Field, and McCormick Place (with a connected station under the South Bldg.) Also service to Michael Reese Hospital at 27th St., Bronzeville, Hyde Park, the Museum of Science & Industry (with a new ADA compliant station 1 1/2 blocks away), and the University of Chicago. And South Shore, South Chicago, Chatham, Chicago State University, Pullman, Roseland, and Blue Island; again almost all Gray Line facilities are in place, and operating NOW. There is little need for costly and time consuming design and engineering, right-of-way acquistion, condemnation, demolition, clearing, materials acquisition, delivery, and major construction. |
