Despite the fact that I've never been anywhere near Lake Michigan, I found so much interesting information on railroad stations owned by Metropolitan Chicago area's Metra stations, I had to write about them. Here they are;

Articles I've Created

NOTE: Most of these articles were renamed "Foo (Metra station)" in the winter of 2013-1014. However, let it be known that I refuse to recognize the recent campaign to eliminate railroad systems from station names over the excuse of unnecessary disambiguations, with the exceptions of major terminals and hubs such as LaSalle Street Station, Ogilvie Transportation Center, and Jefferson Park Transit Center.

BNSF Railway Line:

• Belmont (Metra)
• Downers Grove (Metra) (was reanamed Downers Grove – Main Street (Metra))
• Fairview Avenue (Metra)
• Highlands (Metra)
• Lisle (Metra)
• Route 59 (Metra), although it was already tagged as unreliable, despite the fact that I used Metra's official site as a source.

Metra Electric Line:

• 75th Street (Grand Crossing) (Metra)
• 83rd Street (Metra Electric)
• 87th Street (Metra Electric)
• 95th Street (Chicago State University) (Metra)
• 103rd Street (Rosemoor) (Metra) (Which I've renamed "Rosemoor/103rd Street (Metra)")

• 147th Street (Sibley Boulevard) (Metra)
• 211th Street (Lincoln Highway) (Metra)
• Ashland Avenue (Metra)

• Ivanhoe (Metra)
• Matteson (Metra)
• Pullman/111th Street (Metra)
• Racine Avenue (Metra)

• Stewart Ridge (Metra)
• Stony Island (Metra)
• West Pullman (Metra)
• Woodruff/87th Street (Metra)

• Lake Forest (Metra Milwaukee District/North)
• Libertyville (Metra)
• Mayfair (Metra)
• Prairie Crossing (Metra Milwaukee District/North) (which almost got tagged as a duplicate of Prairie Crossing (Metra North Central))

Union Pacific/North Line:

• Fort Sheridan (Metra) (With this one, all stations along Metra's UP-N line are complete).

• Norwood Park (Metra)
• Palatine (Metra)
• Park Ridge (Metra)
• Pingree Road (Metra) (It wasn't finished, but I couldn't wait for the info)

North Central Service:

• O'Hare Transfer (Metra)

Rock Island District:

• 91st Street - Beverly Hills (Metra)

• Mokena - Front Street (Metra)
• New Lenox (Metra)
• Prairie Street - Blue Island (Metra)
• Tinley Park (Metra), and it's too bad I haven't got an image, because in the present condition, this article does not do it justice.
• Tinley Park - 80th Avenue (Metra)
• Washington Heights (Metra)

Articles I Want to Create

FORMER GOALS

At this point, all articles for existing Metra stations are complete. Evidently, some are being planned for the future SouthEast Service (Metra) and Suburban Transit Access Route (Metra) lines, but I'm not really ready to do anything on those right now. A Template:Metra style, which I vaguely remember that other people werre trying to make. Consider renaming Millennium Station as Millennium Station (Chicago terminal), due to the existence of Millennium Station (OC Transpo). One other thing; the Template:S-line/Metra right/Metra Electric is currently arranged so that any routebox listed between 63rd Street (Metra) and Pullman/111th Street (Metra) automatically has to be split, so that the destinations of the following station don't include South Chicago (93rd Street) (Metra). I'd like to be able to solve that problem without screwing up the thing.
