Van Buren Street (Metra)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Van Buren Street Station is a commuter rail station in downtown Chicago that serves the Metra Electric Line to University Park, Blue Island, and South Chicago; and the South Shore Line to Gary and South Bend, Indiana.
One of the station's entrances is a replica of an Hector Guimard-designed, art nouveau-style Paris subway entrance. The entrance was given to Chicago as a gift by the city of Paris in 2001.[1]
