Argyle station (CTA)

Argyle is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system. It is situated between the Berwyn and Lawrence stations on the Red Line, which runs from Rogers Park at Chicago's northern city limits, through downtown Chicago, to Roseland. It is an elevated station with an island platform. Located at 1118 West Argyle Street in the West Argyle Street Historic District of Chicago's Uptown community area. Purple Line weekday rush hour express service passes through this station but does not stop, normally on tracks outside the Red line tracks, but due to the reconstruction going on until 2025, they currently use the same tracks as Red Line trains.
