History
The depot in Bartlett was built in 1873. It was the last remaining original depot left along what used to be the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. Bartlett station was rebuilt by Metra between 2004 and opened on December 11, 2007. The original station house has been converted into a local railroad museum.
Status
Eastbound trains stop at the new station, which only has a southern platform. Westbound trains stop across from the old station, which now only has a northern platform. The new station's platform only has one pedestrian crossing on the far west side.
Parking has been expanded with the installation of the new station. However, since the trains do not drop off and pick up in the same spot, commuters generally have a moderate walk one direction or another.
