Davis Street station, at Davis Street and Maple Avenue, has two elevated platforms. Northbound trains stop at the west platform and southbound trains stop at the east platform. The ticket agent's office is on the east platform. At ground level, there is a restaurant called Chef's Station.[2] Just to the east of the Davis CTA station is the 12-story Sherman Avenue Garage.
As of February 16, 2024, Evanston Davis Street is served by all 70 trains (35 in each direction) on weekdays, by 24 trains (12 in each direction) on Saturdays, and by all 18 trains (nine in each direction) on Sundays and holidays. During the summer concert season, the extra weekend train to Ravinia Park also stops here.
When the Chicago & Milwaukee railroad, the predecessor of the Chicago and North Western Railway was built, there was only a single track.[3] The stations were placed on the North side of tracks on the other C&NW West line, the original Chicago and Galena Union line.[4] The station buildings were built on the side for inbound Chicago passengers.
The Davis Street station was the only stop in Evanston for intercity Chicago and North Western Railway trains, such as the Twin Cities 400.[5] The Union Pacific bought the assets of the C&NW.
