The adjacent stations are Bryn Mawr, located about to the north, and Argyle, about to the south. Four tracks pass through the station, but there is only single island platform in the center of the tracks; Purple Line weekday rush hour express service uses the outside tracks but does not stop at this station. Berwyn is named for the Berwyn station in the community of the same name, which is west of Philadelphia. Many of the roads (and thus CTA stations) in the Edgewater neighborhood are named after stations on the former PRR Main Line.〔(History of Edgewater street names )〕 ==History== The Northwestern Elevated Railroad extended its services north from Wilson to Central Street in Evanston in 1908, but they did not build a station at Berwyn Avenue until the tracks between Wilson and Howard were elevated onto an embankment between 1914 and 1922. This new station was built to a design by architect Charles P. Rawson; the date of opening is not known, but a station may have existed at Berwyn by 1917.〔 At the time of its opening the station was named ''Edgewater Beach Station''; the name was changed to ''Berwyn'' in the late 1950s,〔See: —the 1944 Rand McNally Street Guide refers to the station as ''Edgewater Beach'', CTA system maps from the 1950s refer to the station as ''Edgewater Beach-Berwyn'', by 1965 the CTA system maps just used ''Berwyn''.〕 around about the time that Lake Shore Drive was extended from Foster Avenue to Hollywood Avenue destroying the namesake Edgewater beach.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lake Shore Drive )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Berwyn (CTA station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
