Pulaski is astation on theChicago 'L' system, serving theBlue Line'sForest Park branch. The station is located in the median of theEisenhower Expressway and serves theWest Garfield Park neighborhood. A long ramp connects the platform to the station house on thePulaski Road overpass. There was originally a similar entrance from the Keeler Avenue overpass; the entrance from Keeler was closed to cut costs on January 15, 1973,[2] but retained as an exit, and the exit was fully closed on December 28, 1978. The structure for this exit still stands but it is closed to the public.

History

[edit]

Elevated station

[edit]

The original Pulaski station (then called40th Avenue station) opened in 1895 along with several other stations on theGarfield Park branch of theMetropolitan West Side Elevated. Because 40th Avenue was renamed to Crawford Avenue and later to Pulaski Road, the station was renamed twice in 1913 and in 1935 respectively.[3] Whenskip-stop service was implemented on the Garfield Park branch on December 9, 1951, the station was designated an AB station, meaning all trains stop at this station.[4] The elevated station was eventually closed in 1958 in favor of a newly-opened replacement station in the median of theCongress Expressway.[5]

Expressway-median station

[edit]

The new Pulaski station opened on June 22, 1958, on the Congress branch. This time, however, the station was designated an A station. During the time the CTA used skip-stop service, A trains west ofRacine station were routed along the Congress branch, while B trains were routed along theDouglas branch (today'sPink Line).[6] In an effort to cut cost, access to Keeler Avenue was limited to exiting passengers on January 15, 1973;[2] the ramp was closed entirely on December 28, 1978.[7]
