Union Pacific/North Line - Route

Route

The southern terminus of the UP/North Line is at the Ogilvie Transportation Center in downtown Chicago. The route traverses Chicago's northern neighborhoods and its northern and far northern suburbs to Kenosha, Wisconsin, although most trains originate or terminate in Waukegan, Illinois.

The Green Bay Trail and North Shore Trail parallel the Union Pacific North Line, using the former right of way of the North Shore Line for over 20 miles (32 km) from Wilmette to North Chicago.

Famous quotes containing the word route:

    “By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
    —Arthur Miller (b. 1915)

    “A Route of Evanescence
    With a revolving Wheel—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
