Location

Irving Park is a railroad station on Metra's Union Pacific Northwest Line located in the Irving Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The station is elevated on a solid-fill embankment which parallels the Kennedy Expressway. It is located adjacent to a station of the same name on the Blue Line. The station contains two side platforms; the southwest platform serves outbound trains, and the northeast platform serves inbound trains. Trains travelling on the bidirectional middle track are forced to skip the station, as Irving Park is the only station along the triple-tracked portion of the line without an island platform serving the express track. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Irving Park is located in Zone 2. As of 2018^[update], Irving Park is the 110th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 439 weekday boardings.^[1]

Irving Park is 6.9 miles (11.1 km) from Ogilvie Transportation Center and 56.2 miles (90.4 km) from Harvard.

As of May 30, 2023, Irving Park is served by 50 trains (25 in each direction) on weekdays, by 32 trains (all 17 inbound, 15 outbound) on Saturdays, and by 20 trains (all 10 inbound, 10 outbound) on Sundays.
