Location

Isabella was a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's Evanston Line, now known as the Purple Line. The station was located at 1215 Isabella Street in Evanston, Illinois. Isabella opened on April 1, 1912, but due to more popularity at the Linden and Central station, Isabella needed to be closed, Isabella closed on July 16, 1973, due to CTA service cuts and low ridership. Isabella was situated north of Central and south of Linden.

Due to poor continuity editing, Bob Newhart disembarks from the 'L' at Isabella during the opening montage of The Bob Newhart Show.
