The Great Lakes station is one of two commuter railroad stations in North Chicago, Illinois, served by Metra's Union Pacific North Line. The station (officially located at 3000 South Sheridan Road) is 32.2 miles (51.8 km) away from Ogilvie Transportation Center, the inbound terminus of the Union Pacific North Line,[2] and also serves commuters who travel north to Kenosha, Wisconsin. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Great Lakes is in zone 4. As of 2018, Great Lakes is the 153rd busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 262 weekday boardings.[1]
It is named for the Great Lakes Naval Training Base in the City of North Chicago.
As of February 16, 2024, Great Lakes is served by 46 trains (23 in each direction) on weekdays, by 25 trains (12 inbound, all 13 outbound) on Saturdays, and by all 18 trains (nine in each direction) on Sundays and holidays.
Like North Chicago station, Great Lakes serves as a stop for the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. However, unlike North Chicago station, the Naval training center surrounds much of Great Lakes station, which is also located near the Shore Acres Country Club.
The connection to the Pace bus system has a boarding location near the main entrance to the naval station, it is also a location for taxi pick ups, and drop offs. Parking is available at the end of Ohio Avenue which leads from the southern terminus of the Bobby E. Thompson Expressway.
