UNION PACIFIC/NORTH LINE

Lake Bluff Metra station exterior shot at night along the North Shore's historic Union Pacific North Line in Lake Bluff, August 4, 2006.

The 'Union Pacific/North' ('UP-N') is a commuter rail line provided by Metra and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad in Chicago, Illinois, and its surrounding suburbs. This line was operated by Chicago & North Western until its merger with UP in 1995. While Metra does not specifically refer to any of its lines by a particular color, the timetable accents for the Union Pacific/North line are printed in dark "Flambeau Green".
Its southern terminus is the Ogilvie Transportation Center in downtown Chicago. The line traverses Chicago's northern neighborhoods and its northern and far northern suburbs to Kenosha, Wisconsin, although most trains originate or terminate in Waukegan, Illinois.
The Green Bay Trail and North Shore Trail parallel the Union Pacific North Line, using the former right of way of the North Shore Line for over 20 miles from Wilmette to North Chicago.
Preliminary engineering has also begun in extending Metra service further north from Kenosha to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Should all go well in cooperation between Wisconsin and Illinois, and should officials in Wisconsin find funding, Metra hopes to begin service by 2010. This new section of Metra would make stops in Milwaukee, Cudahy, South Milwaukee, Oak Creek, Caledonia, Racine, and Somers.
