75th Street-Grand Crossing is an electrified commuter rail station along the Metra Electric Main Line in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood of the City of Chicago, Illinois. It is located at and over both 75th Street and South Chicago Avenue, and is away from the northern terminus at Randolph Street Station.〔(Metra Railfan Tips - Metra Electric )〕 In Metra's zone-based fare system, Grand Crossing is in zone B. 75th Street Station is the first station along the main branch of the Metra Electric line that does not include service for the South Chicago Branch. The station and the neighborhood that surrounds it were named for the ''Grand Crossing'', an on-grade railway junction constructed in 1853 by mutual agreement between the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway (New York Central) and the Illinois Central Railroad in settlement of a right-of-way feud. By 1912, this on-grade crossing was eliminated when the successor line to the LS & MS was elevated. The now abandoned Nickel Plate Railroad tracks also crisscrossed the area. Another elevated crossing was constructed for the Chicago Skyway in 1958.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2009-03-16 )〕 As of 2011, these lines are owned by Metra, Canadian National Railway, and Norfolk Southern Railway. No parking is available for this station, however the Chicago Transit Authority does provide bus service here. ==Bus connections== CTA * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「75th Street (Grand Crossing) (Metra station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
