59th Street/University of Chicago station

Hyde Park Township, Italy

59th Street/University of Chicago is a railway station that serves the Metra Electric District in Chicago, Illinois. The station is on 59th street, originally the University of Chicago's southern border, and the Midway Plaisance. To the north, trains run to Millennium Station downtown, to the south

they run to University Park, Illinois. As of 2018, the station is the 63rd busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 812 weekday boardings. Before the 55th–56th–57th Street station to the immediate north was rebuilt into a major station in 2002, all express trains served 59th Street and the station had a staffed ticket window. In June 2026 Metra announced that all weekday trains will stop at 59th/University of Chicago. The increased service aligns with the opening of the Obama Presidential Center across the street.
