Heritage Corridor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- You may be looking for National Heritage Corridor.
The Heritage Corridor (HC) is a commuter rail line provided and operated by Metra in Chicago, Illinois and its surrounding suburbs. While Metra does not specifically refer to any of its lines by a particular color, the timetable accents for the Heritage Corridor line are printed in dark "Alton Maroon". The Alton Railroad was the historic operator of trains over this route.
Its northern terminus is Union Station in downtown Chicago. The line traverses Chicago's western neighborhoods and its southwestern and far southwestern suburbs to Joliet, Illinois.
The name Heritage Corridor refers to the Illinois and Michigan Canal Heritage Corridor. Established in 1984, it runs parallel to the line.
As of 2006 there are three trains inbound to Chicago during the morning rush hour and three trains outbound to Joliet during the afternoon rush hour.
Heritage Corridor trains make the following station stops:
