[edit] Columbian Exposition Station=Museum Campus/11th Street?

According to this map, the "World's Fair Station" is also Roosevelt Road (Metra). Does this mean we can redirect World's Columbian Exposition Terminal Station to Museum Campus/11th Street Station? ----DanTD (talk) 14:23, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

No. First: the World's Fair mentioned here is actually the second one held in Chicago, the Century of Progress, which was held in the 1930s. Second: the Roosevelt station mentioned here is actually Roosevelt/Wabash (CTA). This was not a direct station for access to the World's Fair, but rather the most convenient get off point for North Shore Line passengers making connections to the fair. (Apologies for arriving several months late to answer your question.) Lost on Belmont (talk) 13:23, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
