Museum Campus / 11th Street

The Metra Electric District and Union Pacific North Line will run extra train service for anticipation of larger than normal crowds for Chicago home games at Soldier Field. For more information click here and visit metra.com.

There's various reasons train service could be affected causing delays. During autumn months when leaves fall on tracks and a train's wheel crush them, a slick oily residue is left behind on the rail. This residue makes it harder for the train to get proper traction to start, stop, and maintain speed. As a result, delays may be experienced during your travel. Plan ahead and allow for extra travel time this autumn season. For additional information click here. 

As part of the Metra Electric Community Initiative to transform 13 stations on the district, the 103rd Street/Rosemoor station remains closed for a full reconstruction and is expected to reopen next spring. During this time, customers can use 107th Street and 95th Street/Chicago State University as alternatives. For additional information click here.

The Millennium Station elevator is out of service until further notice.  Customers can use the elevator located at 205 N Michigan, which leads to the South Water entrance to Millennium Station

The 79th street/Chatham station on the Metra Electric will reopen to the public on Monday, December 16, 2024. Until the station is open, passengers should continue using 75th and 83rd street stations as alternatives. When the 79th street/Chatham station is open it may not always be ADA accessible. This will be due to construction work at nearby stations that require periodic track shifts and temporary boarding procedures midday Monday-Friday 9AM to 4PM. Passengers are advised to check service alerts on metra.com to verify the station is accessible prior to travel.
