Crystal Lake is one of two stations on Metra's Union Pacific/Northwest Line located in Crystal Lake, Illinois. The station is two stops away from the line's terminus at Harvard, and many, if not most of the trains on the Northwest Line only run as far as Crystal Lake. A large coach yard is adjacent to the station and has additional storage tracks to store Metra trains during off-peak hours (overnight, holidays and weekends). Also a Union Pacific maintenance facility and office, some storage tracks for local freight trains and maintenance of way equipment as well as a junction are also located just south and east of here. The McHenry Branch splits off at this junction. The station is 43.3 miles (69.7 km) away from Ogilvie Transportation Center.[3] Parking is available at the station.
