Halsted was a rapid transit station located on the Metropolitan main line of the Chicago "L". It was in existence from 1895 to 1958, when the entire main line was replaced by the Congress Line located in the median of the nearby Eisenhower Expressway.[1] Halsted station in particular was replaced by UIC-Halsted on the Congress Line, which eventually became part of the Blue Line.
