Trains and bag rules at the station

Metra trains don't offer checked baggage, and large items like non-folding carriages or skis can't come aboard because space is limited. Police personnel may inspect any bag you carry into a Metra station or onto a train, so keep things accessible rather than buried. Metra and South Shore Line have separate waiting rooms and platforms within the station, which matters if you're arriving early for a specific service.
