Description

Homewood is an Amtrak intercity and Metra commuter train station in Homewood, Illinois, United States. It is also the location of the Homewood Railroad Park Museum. Homewood is 23.51mi from Millennium Station, the northern terminus of the Metra Electric Line. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Homewood is located in zone E. It is also 25mi from Union Station, the northern terminus of the three Amtrak services which stop here.HistoryThe Illinois Central Railroad built Homewood in 1923 to serve the City of New Orleans and Seminole Limited. Three years later, commuter services began. In 1960 the station also served such IC trains as the Panama Limited, Creole, and Green Diamond. In 1971, Amtrak assumed control of the Illinois Central's passenger operations and continued to stop at Homewood. Metra purchased the commuter services in 1987. In 2003 the Homewood Rail Heritage Committee approved the installation of a train watching platform for railfans similar to that of the Rochelle Railroad Park in Rochelle, Illinois. As with many suburban Metra stations, bus connections are provided by Pace Transit Systems.
