Editing Yellow Line (CTA) (section)

==Route==
The Yellow Line begins at the Dempster-Skokie terminal located at 5005 Dempster Street in [[Skokie, Illinois|Skokie]]. A stub track extends north of the station to allow trains to reverse. The line runs south from Dempster-Skokie at street level. After crossing Oakton Street, the Yellow Line turns east and crosses over Skokie Boulevard ([[U.S. Route 41 in Illinois|U.S. Route 41]]). After the East Prairie Road grade crossing, the tracks rise to become an elevated route.

At this point, the route passes the [[Skokie Shops]] CTA maintenance facility and crosses over the [[North Shore Channel]]. After passing over Dodge Avenue, the tracks descend into a trench. The line remains in the trench for about {{convert|1|mi|km}}, then passes under the [[Metra]] [[Union Pacific North Line]] and [[Purple Line (CTA)|Purple Line]] tracks to enter [[Howard Yard]]. The line then rises to serve the elevated Howard station. A small segment extends south of the station to allow Yellow and Purple Line trains to reverse.
