Route Description
Eastern Subdivision (Phase 1)
The Eastern Subdivision begins south of Sendai where the Northern Subdivision meets Sendai Electric. The lines converge into a four track corridor which turns south and runs elevated above Bleakwood Avenue. The tracks shift east after meeting Kalmar Street and continue south between Bleakwood and the Flag Park. At the intersection of Bleakwood and Cyra Street is Flag Park-Exchange Place station. The line shifts slightly above the sidewalk between Fairfax and Inchmuir. Above Inchmuir Street is Inchmuir Street-Bus Station. The line continues until Bloomington, where the tracks begin to split on the approach to Central City Union Station. Six tracks branch off to terminate, while the main four track corridor runs through the station with two island platforms. After crossing the A0, the tracks split up with two branching off west for the Southern Subdivison.
