Main station (CTA)


Main is an 'L' station on the CTA's Purple Line at 836 Chicago Avenue in Evanston, Illinois. It is near the Main Street station of Metra's Union Pacific / North Line.
The current station has been in place since 1908, with only little renovation to the station since then, most notably a 90-foot extension of the platform in 1997 so that a motorman in the front car could see all doors stopped at the station. Main is one of the stations on the CTA's 2004-2008 Capital Improvement Plan.
