Information About

Foster (cta)




Like the rest of the 'L' tracks north of the Wilson Station , Foster is elevated on a solid fill embankment, unlike the steel structure commonly associated with the 'L'. It lacks a formal station house; two staircases on the south side of Foster Street lead up to a small area containing a customer assistant's booth, a farecard vending machine, and two Turnstile s. The island platform is composed of concrete and stretches north from the station entrance, covered by a canopy its entire length. Southbound trains stop on the west side of the platform, while northbound trains stop at the east part. The platform can only accommodate six-car trains due to the fact that the north tip of the platform has been removed, although its framing and canopy is still in place.
