Street between 2nd and 5th Avenues until it was discontinued in 1958. The Milwaukee city line was entirely double-tracked and located in city streets. Power was supplied by overhead trolley wire. Milwaukee Division trains initially operated over the entire length of the line and terminated on 2nd Street. In 1920 a dedicated passenger terminal was constructed near the intersection of 6th and Michigan Streets, reducing interurban operations over the city line to 2.8 miles. After the subsidiary company ceased its street railway operations in 1951, the North Shore Line assumed its franchise and continued to operate interurban service to the 6th Street terminal until 1963. Chicago "L" Evanston Line Shore Line Route trains operated over the entire Evanston Line of the Chicago "L" from Linden Avenue in Wilmette to Howard Street in Chicago. Power was supplied by overhead trolley wire. When the North Shore Line assumed operations of the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Railroad in 1916, trains only traveled as far south as Church Street in Evanston, where a passenger terminal and stub tracks had been constructed. After direct service into Chicago began in 1919, the Church Street station was reconfigured for through service, and retained as a terminal for local trains. Intermediate stops between Linden Avenue and Church Street included Isabella Street in Wilmette, as well as Central Street, Noyes Street and Foster Street in Evanston. Operation over the Evanston Line ceased when passenger service on the Shore Line Route was discontinued in 1955. Howard Street–Roosevelt Road In 1919, the North Shore Line negotiated a trackage rights agreement which permitted its trains to operate directly into Chicago over of the "L" from Howard Street to Roosevelt Road on the Near South Side. On the quadruple-track portion of the North Side Main Line from Howard Street to Chicago Avenue, North Shore Line trains typically utilized the express tracks to avoid interference from local "L" trains, though the exact routing varied over the years. After its completion in 1943, trains were occasionally diverted through the State Street Subway if the North Side Main Line was obstructed. Power was supplied primarily by third rail, though overhead trolley wire was utilized on the outermost southbound track between Howard Street and Granville Avenue. North Shore Line trains made limited stops at Wilson Avenue, Belmont Avenue, Chicago Avenue, Grand Avenue and the Merchandise Mart. South of Merchandise Mart, trains operated counter-clockwise over the Loop, with
