History
The initial station on this line, State, began operations on November 3, 1905. By July 13, 1907, service was extended to the original terminal located at Loomis. The terminal at Ashland/63rd replaced Loomis on May 6, 1969. The Green Line underwent a closure for refurbishment starting January 9, 1994, and resumed service on May 12, 1996. At that time, the Englewood branch was renamed to the Ashland branch.
