Blue Line

Downtown the Blue Line utilizes the Dearborn-Milwaukee subway. This is Chicago's second subway line. Dearborn platform is the second longest subway platform in the world (State St is the longest). There is no physical rail connection between the Dearborn subway and the State St subway, despite only being one block apart. However there are pedestrian transfer tunnels at Washington and Jackson.
