Halsted station (CTA North Side Main Line)

Halsted was a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's North Side Main Line, which is now part of the Brown Line. The station was located at 1618 N. Halsted Street in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago. Halsted was situated south of (and, until 1942, south of Willow) and north of Larrabee, which closed at the same time as Halsted. It was one of only four "L" stations that were built on s-curves; , , and Sacramento were the other three. The curve at Halsted Street and North Avenue was significant enough that a 1918 Chicago transit plan proposed realigning the Northwestern Elevated there to reduce "heavy curvature". Halsted opened on May 31, 1900, and closed on August 1, 1949, along with 22 other stations as part of a CTA service revision.
