===North Side Main Line=== {{main|North Side Main Line}} The northern terminus of the Red Line is {{cta|Howard}} in the [[Rogers Park, Chicago|Rogers Park]] neighborhood of Chicago, on the north side. The Red Line extends southeasterly on an elevated embankment structure about a half-mile (1 kilometer) west of the lakefront to Touhy Avenue then turns south along Glenwood Avenue to Morse station. From there the route swings on a sweeping reverse curve to the east to Sheridan Road, adjacent to [[Loyola University Chicago]] and continues southerly parallel to Broadway to the east (in [[Edgewater, Chicago|Edgewater]]), and follows Broadway to Leland Avenue. From here, the route transitions from concrete embankment to steel elevated structure. The "L" continues southward running adjacent the Graceland Cemetery, Irving Park Road and Sheffield Avenue from [[Uptown, Chicago|Uptown]] to [[Lincoln Park, Chicago|Lincoln Park]]. The [[Brown Line (CTA)|Brown Line]] ([[Ravenswood branch (CTA)|Ravenswood]]), joins the Red Line tracks just north of {{cta|Belmont}}. South of Belmont, Red, Brown and Purple Line Express trains run side-by-side on the four track North Side "L" to {{cta|Armitage}}. Red Line trains run on the two middle tracks, only making two stops at {{cta|Belmont}} & {{cta|Fullerton}} and skipping {{cta|Wellington}}, {{cta|Diversey}} and {{cta|Armitage}}. [[Wrigley Field]], home of the [[Chicago Cubs]], is served by the {{cta|Addison|Red}} station. Additionally, [[Rate Field]], home of the [[Chicago White Sox]], is served by the {{cta|Soxβ35th}} station. The North Side Main Line of the Red Line travels from Howard station to Armitage station.
