Norwood Park station is a historic commuter railroad station along the Union Pacific Northwest Line in the Norwood Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. It is officially located on 6088 North Northwest Highway, but also runs parallel to Avondale Avenue near Raven Street. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Norwood Park is in zone 2. As of 2018, Norwood Park is the 131st busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 365 weekday boardings.[1]
As of May 30, 2023, Norwood Park is served by 50 trains (25 in each direction) on weekdays, by 31 trains (16 inbound, 15 outbound) on Saturdays, and by 19 trains (nine inbound, 10 outbound) on Sundays.
Norwood Park station was originally built as the "Chicago and North Western Railroad Depot" in 1907. As shown on Metra's official website, the station house looks like a private residential home. In fact, the station itself is privately owned, which is one reason it opens at 5:00 A.M. and has no specific closing time.[2]
The Norwood Park Chamber of Commerce & Industry carried out a major renovation project of the station in 1999.[3] In 2001, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4]
