Laramie is a former station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, that served the current Pink Line when it was still a branch of the Blue Line. It was closed on February 9, 1992 because of service cuts that resulted from budget problems.[1][2] It was temporarily put back into service on February 25, 2002 for the Douglas Rehabilitation Project while the terminal at 54th/Cermak was being rebuilt. It was again closed after the new station at 54th/Cermak opened on August 16, 2003. However, the station was never torn down because it was considered historic.[3]
