Laramie station (CTA Blue Line)
Laramie is a former station on the Chicago Transit Authority's "L" system on the Douglas Branch while it was a branch of the Blue Line. The station closed on February 9, 1992, because of service cuts that resulted from budget problems. It was temporarily put back into service on February 25, 2002, for the Douglas Rehabilitation Project while the terminal at 54th/Cermak was being rebuilt. It was again closed before the new station at 54th/Cermak opened on August 16, 2003. However, the station was never demolished because it was considered historic.
