Gresham is a station on the Rock Island DistrictMetra line, which runs between Joliet, Illinois and LaSalle Street Station in downtown Chicago, Illinois. It is in zone 2 according to Metra fee schedules based on its 9.8 miles (15.8 km) distance from downtown Chicago.[2] As of 2018, Gresham is the 142nd busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 313 weekday boardings.[1] It is in the community area of Auburn Gresham, on the south side of Chicago. The Rock Island service splits just south of here; trains short-turning at Blue Island as well as evening service to and from Joliet diverge onto the slower Suburban Branch (via Brainerd), while most trains to and from points south of Blue Island remain on the main line.
As of 2022, Gresham is served by 40 trains (20 in each direction) on weekdays, by 21 trains (10 inbound, 11 outbound) on Saturdays, and by 16 trains (eight in each direction) on Sundays and holidays. Although Gresham is north of the junction between the main line and the Suburban Branch, the station is only serviced by trains operating on the Suburban Branch. Trains operating on the main line between here and Blue Island are not scheduled to stop at Gresham.
Gresham Station is built on an embankment between bridges over West 87th Street and Vincennes Avenue. Parking is mainly street-side, and there are parking lots on the corner of Vincennes Avenue and Halsted Street, and on Genoa Avenue between 88th and 87th Street.
