Canterbury was a rapid transit station on the Chicago "L" between 1930 and 1951. Located on the Westchester branch, it was part of a southern extension of the branch, which had opened in 1926. History The Westchester branch opened in 1926, and was extended south to Mannheim/22nd on December 1, 1930, an extension that included Canterbury. This extension was served by a single car that shuttled passengers to and from Roosevelt; this was replaced in 1933 by a through-car service that coupled and uncoupled from Westchester trains at Roosevelt. The branch continued in service until replaced by a bus service on December 9, 1951. Station details The station had a single platform on the west side of the single track. The station house, which abutted the platform to its south and opened to the street, was of a Tudor Revival look, with arched windows on the walls and timbered eaves in the interior. Ridership Detailed ridership statistics were never collected for Canterbury; such statistics were collected for the Westchester branch as a whole, or for more patronized stations on the branch.
