Note: Per consensus and convention, most route-map templates are used in a single article in order to separate their complex and fragile syntax from normal article wikitext. See these discussions ^[1],[2] for more information.

This map depicts operating conditions from 1969 to 1993. The Ravenswood made a circuit operating on the Outer Loop track. The Evanston Express made the same circuit in the opposite direction on the Inner Loop track. The Lake–Dan Ryan operated bi-directionally on the Lake and Wabash sides only.

State/Van Buren closed on September 2, 1973.

The Loop shuttle, which made a continuous circuit around the Inner Loop, was discontinued September 30, 1977.
