The station is two stops away from the line's terminus at Harvard, and many trains on the Northwest Line only run as far as Crystal Lake. A large coach yard is adjacent to the station and has additional storage tracks to store trains during off-peak hours. A Union Pacific dispatch center for Metra trains as well as a junction are also located just east of here. The McHenry Branch splits off at this junction. The station is 42.9 miles (69.0 km) away from Ogilvie Transportation Center.[3] Parking is available at the station.
