South Chicago (91st Street) was a commuter rail station on the
South Chicago neighborhood. The station provided service to the South Chicago, South Deering, Hegewisch, and East Side neighborhoods. In Metra's zone-based fare system, 91st Street was in zone B.[1]
In June 1991, the station was caught on fire after the victory of the Chicago Bulls in the 1991 NBA Finals led to a series of looting during the night.[2]
In 2001, Metra constructed a new terminal two blocks south at 93rd Street to replace this station. The
new South Chicago station was dedicated June 4, 2001.[3]
