27th Street station is a commuter rail station in the Douglas neighborhood of Chicago that serves the Metra Electric District north to Millennium Station and south to University Park, Blue Island, and South Chicago. As of 2018, 27th Street is Metra's least-used station, with an average of 12 weekday boardings. 27th Street is a flag stop; trains will not stop unless a passenger is waiting on the platform or a passenger notifies a conductor.
The station was originally built by the Illinois Central Railroad (ICRR). It directly served Michael Reese Hospital until the hospital closed in 2008. It was the site of Chicago's worst rail disaster, the 1972 Chicago commuter rail crash.
