FatMan123 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Two questions- 1) Was the 38 a limited-stop service south of 35th, or did it make all local stops south of 35th? 2) For those of you who took it, does this stopping pattern for the 23 seem right(?): All local stops to Halsted Randolph/Halsted Randolph/Morgan Randolph/Racine Washington/Ashland Washington/Damen Washington/Western Washington/California Washington/Kedzie Washington/Homan Washington/Central Park Washington/Pulaski Washington/Kostner Washington/Cicero Washington/Laramie Washington/Central Washington/Austin Austin/South Blvd Lake/Ridgeland Lake/Oak Park South Blvd/Forest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 The 1995 map only says 38:"Limited stops south of Roosevelt." No stop dots on that map. My impression was that it was only at cross streets where an L station was. #1 was providing all day local service then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only correction I see to be made is that there were no stops at Morgan or Kostner because there were no Green line stops at those streets. And if I'm not mistaken the same goes for Damen. The only reason there was a stop a Western is because the CTA had proposed putting a stop at Western at the reopening of the Green line, but of course that didn't happen. Just like the extension of the Jackson Park extension to Stony Island didn't happen. The CTA actually shortened it and cut off that branch at 63rd/Cottage Grove. Also the Homan (replaced with Central Park/Conservatory station a few years after the Green line reopened) and Halsted stations on Lake disappeared when the line reopened. And as for the 38 it was all local downtown stops to Roosevelt/Michigan. South of that it was nonstop to 35th and then limited stops (about every four blocks) the rest of the route, basically stopping at streets where there were Green line stations as of 1994.
