Off the train and onto St. Charles
The Union Pacific West stop puts you right in the middle of downtown’s best walk.
Lombard · Saturday, August 15, 2026
Lombard station is on Metra’s Union Pacific West line, downtown at St. Charles Road. From the platform, the rest of downtown is a short walk.
The Arch, and the farmers market when it is on, sit at Park and St. Charles. Lilacia is a few blocks south on Park. Helen Plum is at 411 South Main. The Peck Homestead is east on St. Charles at Grace.
You can do library, park, and a loop without a car when the train behaves. The UP-West isn’t always on time, but the station couldn’t be better placed. Check Metra before you leave the house.
