North Chicago is one of two commuter rail stations on Metra's Union Pacific North Line located in North Chicago, Illinois. North Chicago is located at 1633 Lakeside Avenue, 33.7 miles (54.2 km) away from Ogilvie Transportation Center, the southern terminus of the Union Pacific North Line.[2] In Metra's zone-based fare system, North Chicago is located in zone 4. As of 2018, North Chicago is the 168th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 170 weekday boardings.[1]
Prior to the construction of the current facility, North Chicago was situated 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) south of the present location, near Nimitz Avenue.[3] The station consists of two side platforms which serve two tracks. An unstaffed station house is on the inbound (east) platform. Parking is available at North Chicago in a city-owned lot on the west side of the tracks.

Abbott's Platform
Abbott's Platform was a limited-service commuter rail station on Metra's Chicago–Kenosha line in North Chicago. The stop was 0.8 miles (1.3 km) north of the previous North Chicago station—0.3 miles (0.48 km) north of the current station—adjacent to the Abbott Laboratories facility which it served.[3] Unlike other stops, Abbott's Platform was not given its own listing on timetables. Instead, service to this location was indicated by arrival times for North Chicago marked with a "J" note. The stop was closed in 1986.[4]
