57th Street (Metra)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Commuter lines terminating at 57th Street, shown in Panama Orange and Dark South Shore Burgundy on this schematic, serve Chicago's southern and eastern suburbs in Illinois and Indiana

The 57th Street Station is a commuter rail station within the city of Chicago that serves the Metra Electric Line north to the Randolph Street Terminal and south to University Park, Blue Island, and South Chicago; and the South Shore Line to Gary and South Bend, Indiana. On the Metra Electric Line, the station is called 55th-56th-57th Street; on the South Shore Line, it is called 57th Street (Hyde Park). It is the closest station to the Museum of Science and Industry, and also serves the residential neighborhood adjoining the University of Chicago.

This is the only station outside of Downtown Chicago's two main stations that has a ticket office, as many express trains on both lines stop at the station.

This station and the adjoining 53rd Street station was rebuilt in 2002 with concrete platforms, replacing previous wooden platforms.
