69th station

69th is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, serving the Red Line. The station is located in the median of the Dan Ryan Expressway, within the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood. This station connects with the second most bus routes on the Dan Ryan Branch, and is one of the terminals for the N5 South Shore Night Bus. This makes it an important connection for buses, especially Night Owl connections.

History
The Normal Park Branch, built by the South Side Elevated Railroad, ran as a short shuttle service from Harvard station to Parnell and 69th Street, a half mile west from the Dan Ryan. This service had very low ridership and the line was demolished by 1954. 69th was built in a modern, International style featuring large amounts of steel and glass and very little amenities, to complement the design of the brand new stainless-steel 2200 series trains that ran on the brand-new line. == Bus connections ==
