A third center track also runs through the station, to accommodate express trains. The tracks also carry Metra's [[North Central Service]] trains, though they do not stop at Galewood. A waiting room is available on the inbound side of Galewood station, but there is no ticket agent. This room has ample seating and is heated in the winter. An open shelter is on the outbound side of the station. Parking lots are located adjacent to and across the street from the station. Self storage businesses are located to the south of the station. A freight yard is located immediately east of the station. The land where the station now rests upon used to be where trackside utility poles were until circa 2000s when they were removed to construct the station, it was formerly located east of Narragansett Avenue.
