Clybourn is a railroad station in Chicago serving Metra's Union Pacific North Line and Union Pacific Northwest Line.[3] It is located at 2001 North Ashland Avenue (at West Armitage Avenue)[3] and is the first station north of Ogilvie Transportation Center. Clybourn is located at Clybourn Junction. The Union Pacific North Line's Kenosha Subdivision begins here, separating from the Union Pacific Northwest Line's Harvard Subdivision. Clybourn Junction was named for its location near Clybourn Place, the home of the Clybourn family, early settlers in the Chicago area.[2] Clybourn is situated between the Bucktown and DePaul neighborhoods, several miles north of downtown Chicago. In Metra's zone-based fare schedule, Clybourn is in zone 2. As of 2018, Clybourn is the 17th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 1,674 weekday boardings.[4]

North Line and Northwest Line trains stop on separate platforms, between which is a small parking lot. From west to east, the platforms are numbered from 1 to 4. Platform 1 is an island platform, serving Northwest Line trains on the center track in the peak direction, and all outbound trains. Platform 2 is a side platform, serving inbound Northwest Line trains that do not run on the center track. Platforms 3 and 4, which serve the North Line, are side platforms. Platform 3 serves all outbound trains and Platform 4 serves all inbound trains. The busy Kennedy Expressway passes to the west of the Northwest Line tracks, and the north branch of the Chicago River is several blocks to the east. There is no ticket agent booth at the station; passengers must buy tickets on the train either online or after boarding.
