Hi, everyone. 

A new station is opening on the Loop 'L' at Washington/Wabash on Thursay, August 31:

This station is located between where Madison/Wabash used to be and where Randolph/Wabash is today and will be served by Brown, Green, Orange and Pink Line trains and Purple Line Express trains. You can learn more about the station project at transitchicago.com/washingtonwabash. 

Randolph/Wabash will be permanently closed, effective the morning of Sunday, September 3:

Here are some basic attributes that might be helpful to know in advance about how the station will appear in data and how stop info should be queried from the Train Tracker API:

Stop_ID - Washington/Wabash (Outer Loop track/northbound track) - 30383

Stop_ID - Washington/Wabash (Inner Loop track/southbound track) - 30384

Parent Station ID – 41700

Address: 29 N. Wabash Ave., Chicago, IL 60602

Latitude: 41.88322

Longitude: -87.626189

The text messaging mnemonic for the station will be WAWA.

Attached is also an updated 'L' stop list CSV.

The train tracker api is returning an error for the two new stop IDs (30383 and 30384) which is currently making it impossible to add support for tracking trains specifically at these stops:

The station ID (41700) does work though:
