Boarding Change, Delays Between Rosemont and Harlem (O’Hare branch)

Howard-bound Trains Bypass Addison

How does this affect my trip?

For service to this station, take a Howard-bound train to Sheridan (or Wilson, if a stair-free transfer is needed) and transfer to a 95th-bound train.

For service from this station, take a 95th-bound train to Belmont and transfer to a Howard-bound train.

Allow extra travel time.
