    History and location




    = Canal

    =
    Opening in 1893 as part of the newly opened Lake Street Elevated, the Canal station was located above Canal Street west of the Chicago River and railroads leading up to Union Station. The station was eventually closed in 1909 and was replaced by the newly opened Clinton station a block west.

    =
    In 1911, two years after the opening of Clinton station, an adjacent passenger terminal station, the C&NW Terminal, opened. The stations were connected in 1970 with a passageway, called the "Northwest Passage". The passageway closed in 1990 when the C&NW Terminal was rebuilt as Ogilvie Transportation Center, replaced by a holding track for Metra trains. Today, it remains the closest "L" station to the passenger terminal whose platforms directly abut Clinton.
    The station, along with many other stations along the newly-established Green Line, was closed from 1994 to 1996 for reconstruction.
