Irving Park is a railroad station on Metra's Union Pacific Northwest Line located in the Irving Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The station is elevated on a solid-fill embankment which parallels the Kennedy Expressway. It is located adjacent to a station of the same name on the Blue Line. The station contains two side platforms; the southwest platform serves outbound trains, and the northeast platform serves inbound trains. A third track runs through Irving Park but does not stop there, as Irving Park is the only station along the triple-tracked portion of the line without an island platform serving the express track. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Irving Park is located in Zone 2., Irving Park is the 110th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 439 weekday boardings.[1]

Irving Park is 6.9miles from Ogilvie Transportation Center and 56.2miles from Harvard.
