From Libertyville, take Metra's Milwaukee District North line to Chicago Union Station. The downtown Libertyville station is at 200 W. Lake St. in fare zone 4, and the same line also stops at Prairie Crossing on the west side of the village. In Metra's published schedule data, weekday trips from the Libertyville station to Union Station take roughly 62 to 76 minutes, with the quicker trips in the morning rush, and Saturday trips take about 70 to 72 minutes. Tickets can be bought from vending machines at the station. A second option is Metra's North Central Service, which stops at a separate Prairie Crossing station and also ends at Union Station, with a stop at O'Hare International Airport on the way. Check Metra's current schedule before you travel.
