Dempster–Skokie, formerly known as Dempster, or Skokie, is an 'L' station on the CTA's Yellow Line at 5005 Dempster Street in Skokie, Illinois . It is one of three stops on the Yellow Line, and currently the terminus of line, although an extension of the line to Old Orchard Mall has been considered. It is one of two CTA rail stations in Skokie, and is at grade level.
It is also one of three terminals that doesn't have a rail yard assigned to it. All 6 cars assigned to the Yellow Line are stored at the Howard Yard. The Skokie Shops are accessible only via the Yellow Line's tracks, but the shops do not function as a yard, only as a shop for rail cars. This station is one of two CTA rail terminals that does not have an island platform, the other being Cottage Grove on the Green Line. Passengers who want to return to Howard from this station after leaving a train arriving at this station have to always pay an additional fare.
The station was originally constructed in 1925 as part of a new high-speed bypass route for the North Shore Line known as the Skokie Valley Route. Trains of the Chicago Rapid Transit Company's Niles Center Route also used this station as a terminal until that service was ended by the CTA in 1948. The North Shore Line ceased operating in early 1963, but the CTA instated a new service the following year which served a 'temporary' station on the same location. This service was, and to some extent still is, known as the Skokie Swift and is currently called the Yellow Line.
