===Rail=== {{Unreferenced section|date=December 2015}} [[File:Lake Bluff Metra Station.JPG|right|thumb|[[Lake Bluff (Metra)|Lake Bluff Metra Station]]]] Until its bankruptcy in 1962, the [[Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee]] electric interurban railroad between Chicago's "Loop" and Milwaukee had a stop in Lake Bluff. As of 2018, the [[Union Pacific Railroad]] (formerly the Chicago & North Western Railway and later the [[Chicago and North Western Transportation Company]])<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/1036.html|title=Chicago & North Western Railway Co.|website=Encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org|access-date=May 31, 2018}}</ref> still runs through Lake Bluff.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://metrarail.com/maps-schedules/train-lines/UP-N|title=Union Pacific North (UP-N) {{!}} Metra|website=Metrarail.com|language=en|access-date=May 31, 2018}}</ref> This line, part of Chicago's [[Metra]] commuter rail agency, provides access to Chicago through [[Ogilvie Transportation Center|Ogilvie Station]] and to [[Kenosha, Wisconsin|Kenosha]], [[Wisconsin]] (but no longer to Racine and Milwaukee as did the Milwaukee Division of the "Northwestern" in earlier times). Although not a passenger rail line, the [[Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway]] "Outer Belt Line" also has trackage in Lake Bluff.
