Glencoe

Nice station. The station house is heated and open daily (I don't know when it closes but it's definitely open through the evening commute). Tickets are no longer sold inside, so you'll have to either buy on the train (with cash), or using the Ventra app. If you buy on the train there won't be a surcharge on the way into Chicago but there is a $5 surcharge if you depart from downtown and have to purchase on the train. There is a restroom at the station and although there isn't a cafe, there are options within a 5 minute walk if you head westbound on Park Avenue.nnFrom Glencoe, it's about a 45 minute trip downtown if the train makes every stop. There are express trains (mostly during rush hour) that make the trip in as little as 30 minutes. If you're taking the train northbound, it's about a 40 minute trip to Waukegan and just under an hour to Kenosha, WI. The downtown Chicago terminal for this route (Union Pacific North) is Ogilvie Transportation Center (there are four different rail terminals that Metra uses, so it's important to know which one is correct)

It’s still got the historic depot from the CNW days.

One of my favorite Merta stations in the Chicago area. Glencoe is one of the most wealthiest suburbs of Chicago.

Clean and nice. Shelter too.
