It is located in the median of I-190 with one island platform serving two tracks, northwest of the Chicago Loop. Trains are scheduled to depart from Rosemont roughly every 2–7 minutes during rush-hour periods, and take about 36 minutes to travel to the Loop. The station is 7 blocks east and 2 blocks north of O'Hare. Rosemont is the busiest station outside the city limits of Chicago, with 2,090,977 passenger entries in 2014.〔http://www.transitchicago.com/assets/1/ridership_reports/2014-12.pdf〕 ==History== Rosemont station opened on February 27, 1983, as the terminus of an extension of the West-Northwest Line from its former terminal at Jefferson Park. It was built to a design by the architectural firm ''Murphy/Jahn''. The station served as a temporary terminal for its first year of operation until the terminal at O'Hare Airport was opened. The station was known as River Road until the 1990s.〔''(Rosemont. )'' Chicago-"L".org (URL accessed October 2, 2006).〕 Rosemont station is the terminus to many Pace bus routes. In addition, there is a parking lot for commuters that costs $5 US for 14 hours of allowed time. Plus, due to the many hotels nearby, a visitors pass machine is also found in the station. Just west of the station is a maintenance facility built in a wide spot of the freeway's median. The station contains a Dunkin' Donuts doughnut stand, which was installed in September 2004. It is located only 1 mile from the City of Des Plaines at its westernmost border. The Rosemont station handles more suburban commuters from Des Plaines than any other suburb, including itself. 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「Rosemont (CTA station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
