List of Metra stations
Metra is the commuter rail system serving the Greater Chicago metropolitan area in Illinois and Wisconsin, servicing Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties in northeastern Illinois and the city of Kenosha in southern Wisconsin. It is one of three of the Regional Transportation Authority's service boards. With an average weekday ridership of 292,000, Metra is the fourth busiest commuter rail system in the United States, only behind New York City-area systems.〔 , the system has a total of 241 stations spread out on 11 rail lines.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Where do Metra trains run )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Ridership Reports – System Facts )〕
Seven of the system's eleven lines are owned or operated by the Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corporation (NIRC), Metra's operating subsidiary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metra History )〕 Operation of the BNSF Railway Line and the Union Pacific / North Line, Union Pacific / Northwest Line, and the Union Pacific / West Line are handled through purchase of service agreements (PSAs) between Metra, the BNSF Railway and the Union Pacific Railroad.〔 Under these agreements, the railroad companies provide the service using their own employees and either own or control the rights-of-way in addition to the majority of other facilities necessary, while Metra provides the rolling stock.〔 Additionally, Metra funds the portion of South Shore Line within Illinois and operates the Hegewisch station.
The development of Chicago's commuter rail network resulted in a spoke-hub distribution paradigm and Metra's services radiate out from the Chicago Loop from four terminals: Ogilvie Transportation Center, Union Station, LaSalle Street Station, and Millennium Station.〔 However, all are within a short radius of each other and are all easily accessible from one another, either by walking, biking, driving, or the use of public transport.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frequently Asked Questions )〕
, there are no actively planned extensions of the Metra system. Two new lines, the STAR line and SouthEast Service line, had been in the process of planning.〔.〕 The STAR line would have connected Joliet Union Station to O'Hare International Airport, as well as many other communities around Illinois.〔 It would have also linked the North Central Service, Union Pacific West, BNSF, and Milwaukee District West lines to each other.〔 Another project, the SouthEast Service (SES) line, would have connect a variety of points in Cook and Will counties and would serve more than twenty communities over approximately 35 to 40 stations.〔 However, talks for both projects have died out.
