Cumberland station (Metra)
Cumberland station serves as one of the two commuter rail stops on Metra's Union Pacific Northwest Line located in Des Plaines, Illinois. Positioned at 475 East Northwest Highway (US 14), it lies from Chicago's Ogilvie Transportation Center. Within Metra's fare zones, Cumberland falls under zone 3. In 2018, it was ranked as the 109th most frequented out of 236 non-downtown stations, averaging 442 boardings on weekdays.
By May 30, 2023, Cumberland receives service from a total of 60 trains on weekdays—30 inbound and 30 outbound—along with 31 trains on Saturdays (16 inbound and 15 outbound), and 19 trains on Sundays (nine inbound and 10 outbound).
Though its official location is listed on East Northwest Highway, the primary parking area is situated across the railroad tracks and can be accessed via East Golf Road, close to where Wolf and Seeger Roads intersect. Additional parking spaces are available along the eastbound side of Northwest Highway between State Street-Cornell Avenue and the station building just west of the East Golf Road overpass.
To the southeast of Cumberland station, the Union Pacific Northwest Line crosses Deval Tower, a crucial three-way junction that links to the Canadian National Railway's Waukesha Subdivision, which serves Metra's North Central Service, as well as Union Pacific's "New Line" leading toward Milwaukee.
