Englewood station, commonly referred to as Little Englewood Station, is a former
Englewood branch could be made directly at Parnell station.[2] Chicago and Western Indiana commuter service lasted until 1963.[3][4] The tracks are in use by Metra's SouthWest Service, but trains do not stop here.[5] The platforms and canopies still exist, although the station building has been demolished.[6][7]
Three-fourths of a mile east of this station, at 63rd Street and State Street, stood another union station.
