The Englewood "L" never went any farther south then west 63rd Place. The Normal Park branch left the main line at Stewart JCT and went south as afar as 69th ST. I don't know what you are referring to when you say "Englewood Area 73th(sic) South Morgan."

I never knew it was a Harvard station either

@Jaye49 All CTA "L" lines had many more stations in the past then the number they have today. Many of the "L" lines were built before 1899 and they competed with the streetcar lines. The streetcars stopped at every block and the "L"s stopped every second block. The Englewood branch when finished in 1907 had these stations: Loomis, Racine, Halsted, Parnell, Harvard, Princeton/61st, Wentworth, and State.

The slow zones were due to weak steel structure in most places out on the Englewood branch. Not all the rehab work got completed even during the Greenline shutdown.

There is no 58th St station. There's one at Garfield, then 51st.

Wow, lived right there at the tracks at 5910 Michigan, which you can clearly see at 1:18 on the video to the right.
