It is the CTA's second busiest rail line, with an average of 186,796 passengers boarding each weekday in September 2012. The route's full length is 34.6 miles (55.7 km) with a total of 33 stations.The Blue Line and Red Line are the only two routes of the CTA rail system to currently run 24 hours a day, and is one of only five mass-transit rail lines in the United States to do so (the others being the PATCO Speedline, Staten Island Railway, the PATH lines, and the New York City Subway). Service between O'Hare and 54th/Cermak no longer operates. The Pink Line now serves all stations on the 54th/Cermak branch. The Blue Line is also one of only two lines with more than one station with the same name, with the Green Line being the other. It has two Harlem stations: one in the Kennedy Expressway on the Northwest side, and one on the south side of the Eisenhower Expressway on the West Side. It also has two Western stations: one on the Milwaukee Elevated and one on the Congress branch. The Blue Line also has only three in-system 'L' train transfers - all in the downtown area - contains a combination of both the oldest and newest portions of 'L' tracks - and also does not share tracks with any other 'L' train services.Before the adoption of color-coded names, the Blue Line was referred to as the West-Northwest Route (which it is still sometimes referred to as today) or more commonly, the O'Hare-Congress-Douglas route for its three branches. The Congress and Douglas branches were renamed for their respective terminals, Forest Park and 54th/Cermak, when the current color naming system was adopted in 1993. As of April 25, 2008, the Blue Line no longer operates on the Douglas Branch; it has been officially replaced with the new Pink Line.. }
