Laramie is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, serving the Green Line and the Austin neighborhood on the West Side. It opened on April 29, 1894, as a terminus of the Lake Street Elevated Railroad. Going eastbound, Laramie is the first station above Lake Street; the line follows an elevated embankment to Harlem/Lake and transitions from an elevated structure to the embankment immediately to the west of the station.
