211th Street (Lincoln Highway) station
211th Street (Lincoln Highway) serves as a commuter rail stop on the Main Branch of the Metra Electric line, situated in Olympia Fields, Illinois. Positioned at 211th Street between Olympian Way and Olympian Circle, the station is located from Millennium Station, the northern endpoint. Within Metra's fare zoning system, this station falls under zone 3. In 2018, it was ranked 95th out of 236 non-downtown stations in terms of weekday boardings, with an average of 527 passengers. The facility extends across three different municipalities: Olympia Fields hosts the northern platform and parking area, Park Forest contains the eastern parking lot, and Matteson includes the western parking area along with the bus terminal.
The station derives its name from two US 30 road designations present in Park Forest—Lincoln Highway and 211th Street—making it one of only two Metra stations named after a pair of streets (the other being 147th Street (Sibley Boulevard)). It is built on elevated tracks adjacent to a bridge over US 30, which also accommodates a nearby Amtrak route serving the City of New Orleans, Illini, and Saluki services. Parking options include spaces along westbound US 30 between Olympian Way and the railroad bridge, as well as on eastbound US 30 at the bridge's southeast corner, accessible via Homan Avenue through Indiana Street in Park Forest.
