Norwood Park station is a historic commuter rail stop situated on the Union Pacific Northwest Line within Chicago's Norwood Park district. Positioned at 6088 North Northwest Highway near the intersection of Avondale Avenue and Raven Street, it is classified under Metra's zone 2 fare category. In 2018, Norwood Park was ranked 131st among 236 non-central Metra stations, with an average of 365 passengers boarding on weekdays.
As of May 30, 2023, the station accommodates 50 trains on weekdays (25 traveling in each direction), 31 trains on Saturdays (16 inbound and 15 outbound), and 19 trains on Sundays (nine inbound and 10 outbound).
Constructed in 1907 originally as the "Chicago and North Western Railroad Depot," the building's design resembles that of a residential home and remains under private ownership. This unique status allows it to open early at 5:00 A.M. and operate without a designated closing time.
A significant refurbishment was undertaken in 1999, led by the Norwood Park Chamber of Commerce & Industry. Following this restoration, the station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
