Pulaski is a station on the 'L' system, serving the Blue Line's Forest Park branch. The station is located in the median of the Eisenhower Expressway, and a long ramp connects the platform to the station house on the Pulaski Avenue overpass. There was originally a similar entrance from the Keeler Avenue overpass; the entrance from Keeler was closed to cut costs on January 13, 1973, but retained as an exit, and the exit was fully closed on December 28, 1978. The structure for this exit still stands but is closed to the public.
