Homewood is 23.51 miles (37.84 km) from Millennium Station, the northern terminus of the Metra Electric Line.[3] In Metra's zone-based fare system, Homewood is located in zone E. It is also 25 miles (40 km) from Union Station, the northern terminus of the three Amtrak services which stop here.
History
The Illinois Central Railroad built Homewood in 1923 to serve the City of New Orleans and Seminole Limited.[1] Three years later, commuter services began. In 1960 the station also served such IC trains as the Panama Limited, Creole, and Green Diamond. In 1971, Amtrak assumed control of the Illinois Central's passenger operations and continued to stop at Homewood. Metra purchased the commuter services in 1987. In 2003 the Homewood Rail Heritage Committee approved the installation of a train watching platform for railfans similar to that of the Rochelle Railroad Park in Rochelle, Illinois. As with many suburban Metra stations, bus connections are provided by Pace Transit Systems.
