| | Chicago ''L''.org: Stations - Western |
 | | The problem in large part was that all Brown Line stations could only accommodate six-car trains (with the exception of Merchandise Mart, Chicago, Fullerton and Belmont, which could already hold eight-car trains), which, along with the limitations of the cab signal system, limited the line's capacity. |
 | | Western station was grouped with Kimball, Kedzie, Francisco, and Rockwell in a bid package, all of which were designed by the same consultant, Muller and Muller. |
 | | At Western, the modifications to the station are relatively simple, since the station was reconstructed relatively recently (1981) and was already ADA accessible. |
