Glenview station (Amtrak station code GLN) is a stop for both Metra commuter rail and Amtrak in Glenview, Illinois, United States, north of Chicago. The facility opened in March 1995 as a replacement for a since-demolished 1950s era station. The new station, designed by Legat Architects of Waukegan, cost approximately $3 million and was funded from a number of sources, including Metra, the Illinois Department of Transportation, Amtrak and the village of Glenview.〔(Great American Stations ). Accessed March 21, 2013.〕 ==Overview== On Metra, the station is located on the Milwaukee District North Line that runs between Chicago Union Station and Fox Lake, Illinois. On Amtrak, the station is located on two lines, the ''Hiawatha'' that runs between Chicago Union Station and Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the ''Empire Builder'' that operates between Chicago, Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Oregon. It also served the short-lived ''Lake Country Limited'' which ran between Chicago and Janesville, Wisconsin between April 15, 2000, and September 23, 2001. Frequent, daily service is provided on both the Milwaukee District North Line and the ''Hiawatha'', while the ''Empire Builder'' provides once-a-day service. Passengers traveling between Glenview and Chicago or Glenview and Milwaukee are not permitted to board or disembark on the ''Empire Builder'' at Glenview, due to the availability of the more frequent Metra service. It is proposed that the Amtrak service would shift one stop north to North Glenview. This move would eliminate lengthy stops which block traffic on Glenview Road. This move would involve reconstruction of the North Glenview station to handle the additional traffic, and depends on commitments from Glenview, the Illinois General Assembly and Metra. The station is used as a location in the 2011 film ''Source Code'', disguised as "Glenbrook" station. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glenview (Amtrak station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
