Clinton serves as a station within the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, accommodating both the Green Line and Pink Line. Initially inaugurated on October 16, 1909, the station underwent a comprehensive reconstruction during the 1996 Green Line upgrade.
Canal
The Canal station commenced operations in 1893 as part of the Lake Street Elevated. Positioned above Canal Street to the west of the Chicago River and adjacent rail lines leading to Union Station, it ceased service in 1909. Its closure coincided with the opening of Clinton station, situated one block to the west.
Clinton
Two years following Clinton station’s opening, in 1911, the neighboring C&NW Terminal passenger station began functioning. These two stations were linked in 1970 via the "Northwest Passage," which was discontinued in 1990 when the C&NW Terminal was transformed into Ogilvie Transportation Center and supplanted by a Metra storage track. Clinton continues to be the nearest "L" station serving this significant passenger hub.
Between 1994 and 1996, Clinton station was temporarily closed for the Green Line renovation project, alongside other stations.
