  • La Northwestern Elevated Railroad est une ancienne compagnie de métro de la ville de Chicago. C’est la dernière des quatre compagnies originales à avoir ouvert ses portes et elle se concentrait essentiellement sur la desserte des quartiers nord-ouest de la ville de Chicago. L'entreprise, soutenue par le magnat du transport ferroviaire Charles Tyson Yerkes a été constituée en 1893, mais n'a pas commencé à opérer de service de passagers avant 1900 en raison de plusieurs difficultés financières et juridiques que les autres compagnies n’avaient jamais rencontrées. De nombreux problèmes financiers, dont la plupart étaient dus à la dépression du marché économique depuis 1895. Plusieurs tronçons des lignes rouge, mauve et brune actuelles furent construits par la Northwestern Elevated avant son incorporation dans le Chicago Rapid Transit en 1924. (fr)
