Trains of the Chicago Rapid Transit Company's Niles Center Route also used this station as a terminal until that service was ended by the CTA in 1948.
The North Shore Line ceased operating in early 1963, but the CTA instated a new service the following year which served a "temporary" station on the same location.
This service was, and to some extent still is, known as the Skokie Swift, and is currently called the Yellow Line.
The original stationhouse, known as Dempster Street Station, is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places[3][4] and stands 130 feet (40 m) east of its original location, moved at a cost of $1 million in order to make space for the new station and its parking lot.
It is located in the village of Skokie, Illinois, which borders Chicago at its southwest corner and Evanston to its east.
