The station is also occasionally served by South Shore Line trains from Gary and South Bend, Indiana, on an exceptional basis for Chicago Bears home games during football season. As part of a non-compete agreement with Metra, eastbound South Shore trains can only board passengers at stops along the Metra Electric, and westbound trains can only discharge passengers.
The station was originally built by the Illinois Central Railroad (ICRR). The railroad was first built in 1907.
