Clybourn Station
North Line and Northwest Line trains stop on separate platforms, between which is a small parking lot. From west to east, the platforms are numbered from 1 to 4. Platform 1 is an island platform, serving Northwest Line trains on the center track in the peak direction, and all outbound trains. Platform 2 is a side platform, serving inbound Northwest Line trains that do not run on the center track. Platforms 3 and 4, which serve the North Line, are side platforms. Platform 3 serves all outbound trains and Platform 4 serves all inbound trains. The busy Kennedy Expressway passes to the west of the Northwest Line tracks, and the north branch of the Chicago River is several blocks to the east.
