67th Street station (Illinois)

67th Street was a commuter rail station on the Metra Electric District in Chicago. The station was built on a solid-fill embankment with a pair of island platforms between the inner and outer tracks. Access was made via a pair of stairwells to street level situated underneath the 67th Street viaduct. The station was closed in 1984 due to low ridership.[2] The stairwells to track level were bricked off, however both platforms still exist.
