		The line continues on embankment to Ashland Avenue where it crosses the South Fork of the South Branch of the Chicago River.
		Orange Line trains share trackage with Green Line trains operating from the connection at 17th Street to the Loop.
		The Orange (Midway) Line was opened on October 31, 1993, and was the first all-new rapid transit service in Chicago since the Dan Ryan Line opened in September, 1969, and the first extension to the CTA system since the O'Hare Airport Extension of the Blue Line in September, 1984.

	Blue Line (Chicago Transit Authority) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blue Line and Red Line are the only two lines in the CTA system to run 24 hours a day, with the exception being the Douglas Branch, which operates between 4 a.m.
		The rapid transit line follows the Kennedy east through Rosemont then tunnels beneath the Kennedy Expressway/Northwest Tollway interchange near the Des Plaines River and continues in the median of the Kennedy Expressway (now Interstate 90) east and southeast towards the city to another subway portal just south of Addison Street.
		On February 25, 1951, Chicago's second subway route, Milwaukee-Dearborn-Congress, was placed in operation by CTA, connecting the Milwaukee Avenue elevated route (formerly Logan Square) with the Central Business District on a fast, efficient and more direct routing through the heart of the city.

		Members of the Blue Line Transit Task Force were expected to renew their call at Monday's City Council committee meeting for the CTA to immediately restore 24-hour, seven-day service on the Cermak branch.
