87th Street station is situated on the South Chicago Branch of the Metra Electric Line in the southeastern area of Chicago. It is positioned at 87th Street, roughly two blocks east of Commercial Avenue, and lies about from the northern endpoint at Millennium Station. Within Metra's fare zoning system, this station is classified under zone 2. In 2018, it was ranked 186th among 236 non-downtown stations, with an average weekday boarding count of 106 passengers.
While Metra's official address indicates 87th Street east of Commercial Avenue, the station is actually closer to South Baltimore Avenue. The railway tracks run through a narrow one-lane alley behind South Baltimore Avenue, which connects 86th and 87th Streets.
To the west of this location, another Metra Electric station exists on 87th Street called 87th Street (Woodruff), located on the main line. Parking options are limited to street parking along 87th Street—specifically on the south side between Houston and Burley Avenues, as well as on the north side between the railway tracks and Baltimore Avenue.
