Mannheim station (Illinois)

Mannheim is a station on Metra's Milwaukee District West Line in Franklin Park, Illinois that gets services during rush hour as a flag stop. The station is 14.0 miles (22.5 km) away from Union Station, the eastern terminus of the line. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Mannheim is in zone C. As of 2018, Mannheim is the 218th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 35 weekday boardings. The reason this station is named because of Mannheim Road running right next to it. It is the only non-ADA-accessible station on the Milwaukee District West Line. The Tri-State Tollway also runs adjacent to the Mannheim station. As of 2022, Mannheim is served by eight inbound trains and three outbound trains on weekdays. There is no service on weekends or holidays. All trains scheduled to stop here treat the station as a flag stop. Mannheim Station is little more than a wooden shelter, which is smaller than Hanson Park further east. The station lies on the south side of Front Street between Lincoln and Ernst Streets. Parking is available on the north side of Front Street along the same block. It is just east of the large Canadian Pacific Bensenville Yard, which sits to the south of O'Hare International Airport. This station originally served as a milk stop for the village of Mannheim, Illinois. Mannheim was founded in the 1870s when the railroad was built through the area and was later annexed into Franklin Park.

The historic B-12 interlocking tower for the Milwaukee Railroad is situated one block west of the station, accompanied by a preserved Milwaukee Road caboose. This tower, constructed in the 1890s, was located at the intersection of the MD-W line and the Canadian National (ex-Soo Line/Wisconsin Central) (east) and Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad (west) tracks, but closed in July 1996 and was relocated a year later. Although the Milwaukee system as a whole ceased to exist in 1986, the tower still dons the Milwaukee Road logo.
