You may not pay much attention to this map when you take a train. Today, I met a passenger Joseph who just comes from New York. In New York, there are 26 trains serving in the subway system, and each train has its own color. People easy to miss stop if you don’t know the map. As a stranger, he used his experiences to record the Chicago Loop train’s map today. He used colors to draw a Chicago Loop train’s map because this map can give him more train directions for the trip. From these two maps, he has known that the Chicago ‘L’ is a large system. In his maps, he marked down the direction’s information what he needed for. The different colors clear to show him where he should stop or transfer. Finally, he got off the orange line train in Library/Van Buren through the arrows and orange color.

The State Street subway was completed in 1943; the Dearborn subway, on which work had been suspended during World War II, opened on February 25, 1951. The subways were constructed with a secondary purpose of serving as bomb shelters, as evidenced by the close spacing of the support columns (a more extensive plan proposed replacing the entire elevated system with subways). The subways bypassed a number of tight curves and circuitous routings on the original elevated lines (Milwaukee trains, for example, originated on Chicago's northwest side but entered the Loop at the southwest corner), speeding service for many riders.
