You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Elmhurst''' is a [[Metra]] commuter [[railroad]] station in downtown [[Elmhurst, Illinois]], a western suburb of [[Chicago]]. It is served by the [[Union Pacific West Line]], and lies ((convert|15.7|mi|km)) from the eastern terminus.<ref>((cite web| url=http://web.me.com/willvdv/chirailfan/mmupw.html| title=Metra Railfan Tips - Union Pacific/West Line| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100507090122/http://web.me.com/willvdv/chirailfan/mmupw.html| archivedate=May 7, 2010))</ref> Trains go east to [[Ogilvie Transportation Center]] in Chicago and as far west as [[Elburn, Illinois]]. Travel time to Ogilvie ranges from 39 minutes on local trains to 26 minutes on express trains, as there are some trains that go non-stop between Elmhurst and Chicago. Evening peak trains make the run between Ogilvie and Elmhurst in as little as 24 minutes. ((As of|2018)), Elmhurst is the fourth busiest of the 236 non-downtown stations in the Metra system, with an average of 2,540 weekday boardings.<ref name=":0">((Cite web|url=https://metrarail.com/sites/default/files/assets/planning/ridership/2018_summary_results_report_final.pdf|title=Commuter Rail System Station Boarding/Alighting Count: Summary Results Fall 2018|date=April 2019|website=metrarail.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190526034459/https://metrarail.com/sites/default/files/assets/planning/ridership/2018_summary_results_report_final.pdf|archive-date=26 May 2019|url-status=))</ref> Unless otherwise announced, inbound trains (except inbound train no. 38) use the north platform and outbound trains (and train no. 38) use the south platform.

As of February 16, 2024, Elmhurst is served by all 58 trains (29 in each direction) on weekdays, by all 20 trains (10 in each direction) on Saturdays, and by all 18 trains (nine in each direction) on Sundays and holidays.

The station is on ground level, on York Street between 1st Street and Park Avenue. [[Elmhurst University]] and Wilder Park Conservatory are both several blocks away. [[Pace (transit)|Pace]] suburban buses stop on York Street and on 1st Street. The station is just a few blocks west of Union Pacific's Proviso railroad yard. Due to the relatively close proximity to the railroad yard, Metra trains occasionally must use the middle track to avoid the frequent freight traffic. Because the middle track has no platform, the train's [[cab car]] receives and discharges passengers at the York Street railroad crossing when this does occur.

== Station History ==
[[File:Chicago & North Western Railroad station on W. First Street, looking northwest.jpg|left|thumb|The 1894 Chicago & North Western Railroad Station. Circa 1931]]
[[Elmhurst, Illinois|Elmhurst]]'s early development in the 1800s centered around the newly built [[Galena and Chicago Union Railroad]], which would later become the [[Union Pacific West Line]]. At some point in the 1880s, a small freight depot was constructed to support increased farming and other businesses in the area. The first station in Elmhurst was not designed for passenger use.

As the then new [[Chicago and North Western Railroad]] began operating commuter passenger trains heading to and from [[Chicago]], a new and much larger depot was constructed east of the freight depot in 1894. It was the first station in Elmhurst built exclusively for passenger use.((Citation needed|date=October 2021)) The new station would have two platforms to accommodate the frequent passenger trains, with the north platform used for inbound trains and the south platform for outbound trains. The original freight depot was expanded around the same time and now found itself located between Cottage Hill Avenue and Maple Avenue. The 1894 station remained in use for 70 years until it was demolished and rebuilt from 1964 to 1965.((Citation needed|date=October 2021))
[[File:Photograph, Chicago & North Western Railroad station; April 1965; M2014.1.574.jpg|left|thumb|Demolition of the 1894 station. Circa 1965]]
The second and current station is much smaller than its predecessor, with elements of mid-century modern in design. The station saw minor improvements throughout the 1970s and 1980s, such as the addition of bike racks, newspaper boxes, and platform warning stripes. Most improvements were made after the [[Regional Transportation Authority (Illinois)|Chicago Regional Transportation Authority]], later known as [[Metra]], took over C&NW's commuter operations in 1974.((Citation needed|date=October 2021)) In 1987, the north and south platforms were extended and warning stripes were painted red. In early 1989, the station underwent major rehabilitation during Elmhurst's downtown redevelopment effort. The city was given a full grant from Metra with the goal to turn the station into an attractive people area.<ref name=":1">((Cite web |title=Revitalizing Downtown Elmhurst |url=https://www.lib.niu.edu/1995/im950915.html |access-date=2021-10-18 |website=www.lib.niu.edu))</ref> Upgrades included a new roof, extended platforms, a pedestrian underpass, heat lamps, and passenger information systems. To accompany the upgraded station, two parking garages were built for additional parking, despite early criticism.<ref name=":1" />

In 2016, the City of Elmhurst began conceptualizing ideas to update the nearly 60 year old station. Unlike the previous two stations, the concept proposes relocating the station.<ref>((Cite web |date=August 27, 2020 |title=Metra Station and Site Improvement Project - Architecture & Building Commission Meeting #1 |url=https://www.elmhurst.org/DocumentCenter/View/16983/Metra-Station-and-Site-Improvement-Project?bidId= ))</ref> Concept art for the station shows some resemblance to the original 1894 station.
