CTA's Ashland/Lake station was built along with the rest of the Lake Street Elevated in 1892.  It was designed by an unknown architect in the Queen Anne style, with elements of Victorian Gothic.   Back in 1892, this station was identical to several other stations on the same line.  Today, there are only two of these beautiful designs remaining.  The stationhouses at Ashland remain intact, but the platforms have been extended and shortened many times over the station's century-long history.  The platforms in this model are roughly as they appeared in the 1940s.   The lot is only 1x3, with overhanging platforms, but it is meant to be linked with the NAM's Elevated-Railroad-Over-Road puzzle pieces, where those puzzle pieces cross a perpendicular road. (see the pictures, it will make sense then). Note: UDI does not work through this station, either on the roads or on the tracks, unless you drag roads through the lot after plopping it.   Lot Stats: Lot Size: 1x3 Platform Length: 7 tiles Capacity: 10000 Cost: $1800 Air Pollution: 1 over 1 tile Water Pollution: 3 over 2 tiles Garbage: 1 ton/month
