The Metra Electric District will run extra train service for anticipation of larger than normal crowds for the Chicago Bears home games. 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 info click here. 

Beginning Monday, March 13, access to the Homewood Station from the east will be closed for station construction until Summer 2024.  Access to the boarding platform will be through the Park Avenue entrance ONLY (west side of tracks).

Beginning, Monday, March 6, the Pace bus stop will relocate from Harwood Avenue to Park Avenue.  Please allow additional time and use caution near the work zone.

 The 79th street/Chatham station on the Metra Electric line will be closed beginning Monday, July 10 for approximately 9 months. During this time passengers can use 75th and 83rd street stations as alternatives. This is part of the Metra Electric Community initiative to transform multiple stations on the Metra Electric District. Once completed, stations will have enclosed ADA-accessible street-level entrances, lobbies with elevators, new stairs, headhouses, new composite deck platforms, new lighting, and signage.  For more information click here.

Reconstruction of the stairs at the University Park station will begin in early November. Metra anticipates completion of the project by early 2024. Please exercise caution near the work zone.

Due to the significant damage caused by a fire on November 28th, the waiting area is no longer protected from weather. Metra forces will work to repair the station as quickly as possible but for now, please use caution when passing through the area to and from the platform. Metra Electric trains will make scheduled stops at the 107th street station.
