The northern part of the platform and the parking lot west of the station lie in Olympia Fields, the eastern parking lot in Park Forest, and the western parking lot and bus station in Matteson.
The station is named with both of the names by which [[U.S. Route 30 in Illinois|US 30]] is known locally: [[Lincoln Highway]] and 211th Street. The station and tracks are built on an elevated roadbed and a bridge which spans US 30. This bridge also carries the [[Amtrak]] line that runs parallel to it, carrying the ''[[City of New Orleans (train)|City of New Orleans]]'', ''[[Illini (Amtrak)|Illini]]'', and ''[[Saluki (Amtrak)|Saluki]]'' trains. Parking is available on westbound US 30 between the railroad bridge and Olympian Way, and along eastbound US 30 on the southeast corner of the bridge, which is accessible from Homan Avenue via Indiana Street in Park Forest.
