Point of Interest

Wilson is a busy station on the Red Line. Originally it was called Uptown station. At one time it was the northern terminus of the 'L'. 'L' trains as well as North Shore trains stopped here. Currently only Red Line trains stop here using the center platform. The Northbound outer platform is not used, the southbound outer platform is rarely used.
