Like much of the main branch of the Metra Electric line, 95th Street-CSU is built on elevated tracks near the embankment of a bridge over 95th Street. This bridge also carries the Amtrak line that runs parallel to it, carrying the City of New Orleans, Illini, and Saluki trains. In addition the line, which is owned by Canadian National Railway has a connection to the Norfolk Southern Railway which crosses over the tracks as well as Cottage Grove Avenue, between Lyon and Burnside Avenues.
History
In April 2004, the Chicago State University master plan called for a new station south of the existing one.[3] On August 1, 2019, it was announced that Metra and Chicago State University would substantially renovate the station. The work will consist of a new platform, stair enclosure, an elevator and at least one on-demand heater. The completion of the work would lead to regularly scheduled stops.[4]
The station is currently closed for reconstruction since March 3, 2025, which coincided with the reopening of 103rd Street (Rosemoor) station, and is expected to reopen in the third quarter of 2027.[5][6][7]
