Flossmoor is a station on Metra's Metra Electric Line located in Flossmoor, Illinois. The station is located at Flossmoor Road and Sterling Road. Flossmoor is 24.93 miles (40.12 km) from Millennium Station, the northern terminus of the Metra Electric Line.[2] In Metra's zone-based fare system, Flossmoor is located in zone 3. As of 2018, Flossmoor is the 60th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 859 weekday boardings.[1] The station is on a solid-fill elevated structure and consists of a 1906-built Illinois Central Railroad building next to one island platform which serves the Metra Electric Line's two tracks. There is no ticket agent at Flossmoor, but tickets may be purchased from a vending machine in the waiting room. The old station house is used as a local restaurant and beer brewery, and contains an ice cream shop for kids that operates out of a former Illinois Central Railroad caboose.
