| Van Buren Street - The Metra Electric platform at Van Buren Street, shared with the South Shore Line. There are two platforms serving three tracks at this station. The furthest platform, built into the side wall, is for outbound trains leaving downtown - the other platform is primarily used for arrivals from inbound trains. A new track and platform are under construction to improve service for South Shore passengers. The new platform will have access to the existing Van Buren Street station by stairs and elevator and direct ramp access from the platform to East Jackson Dr and Ida B Wells Dr. |
