Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad (original) (raw)
- La Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad est une ancienne compagnie de métro de la ville de Chicago. Surnommée ("Met" ou "Polly"), c'est la troisième société créée sur le système du métro de Chicago, elle fut fondée en 1892 et était importante pour deux raisons : premièrement sa position était stratégique puisqu’elle desservait les quartiers très peuplés du West Side et ensuite parce qu'elle fut la pionnière en matière de système de traction électrique puisqu’aucune rame à vapeur n’y a jamais roulé. Sa ligne principale avait son terminal sur Franklin Street au croisement avec Milwaukee Avenue duquel elle roulait vers l’ouest et se scindait en trois branches à hauteur de Marshfield Avenue: La Garfield Park Branch directement à l'ouest qui allait jusque Western avenue au départ avant d’être rapidement prolongée jusque Kenton Avenue, la Douglas Park Branch jusque Cicero au sud-ouest et la Logan Square Branch au nord-ouest à partir de Robey Street (station Damen). Une quatrième ligne, indépendante des trois autres mais ouverte en 1895 également, la Humboldt Park Branch fut créée au départ de la station Robey Street vers le sud jusque Lawndale Avenue. Certains de ces parcours sont encore utilisés aujourd'hui par la ligne rose et la ligne bleue du métro de Chicago. (fr)
