Galewood station
Galewood serves as a stop on Metra's Milwaukee District West Line, located within the Galewood area of Chicago. Positioned from the eastern endpoint at Chicago Union Station, it falls under Metra's zone 2 fare classification. In 2018, Galewood was ranked 157th among 236 non-central Metra stations, with an average weekday boarding figure of 246 passengers.
Starting February 15, 2024, the station is serviced by a total of 40 trains on weekdays (20 inbound and 20 outbound), along with full service on weekends—24 trains on Saturdays and 18 on Sundays and holidays.
The station layout includes two ground-level side platforms adjacent to the outer tracks, while a third track in the center accommodates express services. Although Metra's North Central Service trains traverse this route, they do not make stops at Galewood. The inbound platform is equipped with a heated waiting area but lacks ticket agents; the outbound platform provides a shelter open to the elements. Parking facilities are accessible both beside and opposite the station. Surrounding landmarks include self-storage facilities to the south and a freight yard immediately to the east. Around 2001, the station underwent reconstruction on property that was once occupied by utility poles east of Narragansett Avenue.
