The Howard Yard is a CTA rail yard in the Rogers Park neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago, Illinois, on the border with Evanston, Illinois. It is the largest rail yard of the CTA,[1] and stores cars from the Yellow, Red, and Purple Lines of the Chicago Transit Authority.
Currently, 5000-series railcars are stored here.[2] It is adjacent to Howard station.
The yard was opened in 1919[3] and gradually replaced the functions of Wilson Yard, until the latter was destroyed by fire in 1996.[3] The yard was rebuilt between 1991 and 1993.[4]
A train derailed in the yard in 1990, disrupting rail traffic to Evanston.[5] In 2023, a Yellow Line train collided with a CTA snowplow on tracks adjacent to the yard.[6]
