Prairie Crossing station
Prairie Crossing is a Metra station located in Libertyville, Illinois. It is serviced by the North Central Service and the Milwaukee District / North Line. The station is away from Union Station via the North Central Service, and via the Milwaukee District / North Line. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Prairie Crossing is in zone H.
The North Central Service station opened first, in 1996, along with the rest of the line. The Milwaukee District / North Line platform opened as an infill station in 2004.
The two lines cross at an at-grade diamond northwest of the station. A connector track at the diamond is used by a single evening North Central Service train, #120, which makes all stops from Antioch to Grayslake-Washington Street, then switches to the Milwaukee District / North Line at Prairie Crossing, makes stops at Libertyville and Lake Forest, and then runs express to Union Station.
