Western Avenue (Metra)

Western Avenue is the name of a railroad station owned by Metra, located in Chicago, Illinois. The station is located on the Milwaukee District/West, North Central Service and Milwaukee District/North lines, and is the last inbound stop for these three lines before the terminus at Union Station. Although it is not a station stop, Amtrak trains make frequent use of the tracks. The station was previously used by the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. Located near the station are the California Coach Yard, and the Western Avenue Rail Yard. The two nearby rail yards are host to Metra's final EMD F40Cs, as well as the final few painted coaches.
