==={{anchor|State Street Subway}} State Street subway=== {{main|State Street subway}} After running through Armitage, the Red Line descends to a portal at Willow Street and enters the subway, turning southeast on Clybourn Avenue, east at Division Street, and south at [[State Street (Chicago)|State Street]] through the [[Chicago Loop|Loop]] to [[Roosevelt Road]]. South of Roosevelt Road, there is a junction, with one pair of tracks curving to the east and leaving the subway at 13th Street and connecting to the old South Side "L" at 18th and State Streets. This section was used from October 1943 until February 1993, when trains from Howard were routed to the Englewood and Jackson Park branches, today known as the south branches of the Green Line. The 13th Street portal is now used for non-service train moves and emergency purposes. The 13th Street portal was used again for regular "L" service from May until October 2013, because Red Line trains were rerouted to the Green Line's [[South Side Main Line (CTA)|South Side Main Line]] tracks and terminated at {{cta|Ashland/63rd}} during the five months of the Red Line South Reconstruction Project. This service was used again from April to November 2017 and July 2018 to April 2019. The Red Line is the only Chicago "L" line that connects to all seven other "L" lines full time. The [[Purple Line (CTA)|Purple Line]] shares the distinction only when it runs its weekday rush hour route.
