Laraway Road functions as a commuter rail stop located in New Lenox, Illinois, a southern suburb within the Chicago metropolitan area. The station was officially opened on October 6, 2006, with passenger services commencing three days later on October 9, 2006. It operates on Metra's SouthWest Service route, providing transit to Chicago Union Station. In 2018, Laraway Road was positioned 228th among 236 non-central Metra stations in terms of ridership, averaging 19 boardings per weekday, a figure matched by a nearby station.
As of February 15, 2024, the station is served by a total of 10 trains on weekdays—five in each direction—with three outbound trains functioning as flag stops. Currently, there is no service available on Saturdays.
The facility includes a parking area accommodating 300 vehicles, with plans to potentially increase capacity up to 1,200 spaces. Amenities at the site consist of a brick structure equipped with restrooms and a shelter for bicycles. Bus connections are not available at this location.
In close proximity stands an older New Lenox station on Metra's Rock Island District line; however, despite the SouthWest Service line bridge crossing above the Rock Island District tracks nearby, there is no direct transfer or linkage between these two stations or lines.
