Facts and practical information

The Bloomingdale Trail is a 2.7-mile elevated rail trail running east–west on the northwest side of Chicago. It is the longest greenway project of a former rail line in the United States, and the second longest in the world, after the Promenade plantee rail trail in Paris. In 2015, the City of Chicago converted the former Bloomingdale Line into an elevated greenway, which forms the backbone of the linear park and trail network called The 606. The Bloomingdale Trail elevated park touches the neighborhoods of Logan Square, Humboldt Park, and West Town. ()
