From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Commuter lines terminating at 63rd 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 63rd 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.

The station was originally built by the Illinois Central railroad (ICRR), and served both ICRR comuter trains and long-distance passenger trains until the railroad relinquished its passenger train service to Amtrak in 1971.
