1

Halsted Street, also known as Halsted Street/UIC, is a station on Metra's BNSF Line, located in Chicago, Illinois. The station is 1.8 mi away from Union Station, the eastern terminus of the BNSF Line. As of 2018, Halsted Street is the 182nd busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 115 weekday boardings. The elevated station consists of two island platforms on an embankment near an overpass. Only platform 1 is actively used for passenger service, though both platforms 1 and 2 were recently rehabilitated as of 2024. There are staircases leading to the southbound sidewalk of Halsted Street, as well as two unstaffed shelters on platform 1. As of April 29, 2024, Halsted Street is served by 56 trains (27 inbound and 29 outbound) on weekdays and 33 trains (16 inbound and 17 outbound) on weekends. According to Metra, the historically lightly-used station has seen a large ridership increase following the introduction of a Metra free fare pass option for UIC students in fall 2024.
