Milwaukee District/West Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Milwaukee District/West (MD-W) is a commuter rail line provided and operated by Metra in Chicago, Illinois and its surrounding suburbs. While Metra does not specifically refer to any of its lines by a particular color, the timetable accents for the Milwaukee District/West line are printed in dark "Arrow Yellow".
Its eastern terminus is Union Station in downtown Chicago. The line traverses Chicago's western neighborhoods and its western and far western suburbs to Elgin, Illinois.
Metra is building a new station at the intersection of Grand and Cicero Avenues. When this station opens, Metra may close the Hermosa and Cragin Stations because the current stations will be blocks from the new Grand/Cicero Station.
Metra has long-range plans to eventually extend the line to Huntley and Marengo, Illinois, and possibly out to Rockford. [1] [2]
