Asbury was a station on the

Ridge. Asbury opened on March 28, 1925, and closed on March 27, 1948, upon the closing of the Niles Center branch.[2]

After the successful reopening of the Oakton station in 2012, it was determined that either the Dodge, Asbury, or Ridge stations could be rebuilt and reopened as well.[3] It appears the Asbury station has won approval but a timeline has yet to be established.[4]
