Did you know the longest platform in the Western Hemisphere is in Chicago? Though the Windy City is mostly famous for its elevated railroads, there are two subway tunnels that cross the downtown area as well. Both of these tunnels include a section where multiple stations are situated on one long platform. The red line platform, under State Street, is the record holder. Aside from Lake, Monroe, and Jackson stations, it also holds the abandoned Washington station, which was closed in 2006. All of these places are accessible and open, so the perfect opportunity to explore.
And yes, my friend and I were doing this while our wives were at the Eras Tour in Soldier Field.
