The Red Line served this station from May 19, 2013 to October 20, 2013, April 3, 2017 to November 22, 2017, and July 30, 2018 to April 26, 2019.
Loomis was a station on the Englewood branch of the Chicago "L". Although other stations on the Englewood branch opened in stages, the station opened on July 13, 1907, concluding overall construction of the branch. Despite improvements to the station, it was closed in 1969 when the new Ashland terminal opened two blocks west.[3]
The Ashland/63rd station opened on May 6, 1969 to replace the Loomis terminal. Though the station itself was not rebuilt during the Green Line renovation in 1994-96, an elevator was added to the station to make it accessible to passengers with disabilities.[4]
