O'Hare is the 'L' station at the northwestern terminus of the CTA's Blue Line. It is a subway station with two island platforms serving three tracks, located at O'Hare International Airport, 17 miles (27 km) northwest of the Chicago Loop. Trains are scheduled to depart from O'Hare roughly every 2-7 minutes during rush-hour periods, and take about 40 minutes to travel to the Loop. It is also the only CTA station without coordinates. The reason for this is that O'Hare Airport doesn't line up with any streets in the city. The coordinates that are listed are an approximate guess based on position.
