On Metra, the station is located on the [[Milwaukee District North Line]] that runs between [[Chicago Union Station]] and [[Fox Lake, Illinois]]. On Amtrak, the station is located on three lines, the ''[[Hiawatha (Amtrak train)|Hiawatha]]'' between Chicago and [[Milwaukee|Milwaukee, Wisconsin]], the ''[[Borealis (train)|Borealis]]'' between Chicago and [[Saint Paul, Minnesota|St. Paul, Minnesota]], and the ''[[Empire Builder]]'' between Chicago, [[Seattle, Washington]], and [[Portland, Oregon]]. It also served the short-lived ''[[Lake Country Limited]]'' which ran between Chicago and [[Janesville, Wisconsin]] between April 15, 2000, and September 23, 2001. Frequent, daily service is provided on both the Milwaukee District North Line and the ''Hiawatha'', while the ''Empire Builder'' and ''Borealis'' provide once-a-day service. Normally, passengers traveling between Glenview and Chicago or Glenview and Milwaukee are not permitted to board or disembark on the ''Empire Builder'' at Glenview, due to the availability of the more frequent Metra and ''Hiawatha'' trains. However, for much of the spring of 2020, the ''Empire Builder'' allowed local travel between Glenview and Milwaukee when the ''Hiawatha'' was suspended due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].
It is proposed that the Amtrak service would shift one stop north to [[The Glen/North Glenview station]]. This move would eliminate lengthy stops which block traffic on Glenview Road. This move would involve reconstruction of the North Glenview station to handle the additional traffic, and depends on commitments from Glenview, the [[Illinois General Assembly]] and Metra.<ref>{{cite news |title=Amtrak move to North Glenview station seen |first=Lynne |last=Stiefel |date=November 10, 2009 |accessdate=November 10, 2009 |publisher=[[Pioneer Press]] |url=http://www.pioneerlocal.com/glenview/news/1875738,glenview-amtrak-111209-s1.article|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20091114143355/http://www.pioneerlocal.com/glenview/news/1875738,glenview-amtrak-111209-s1.article|archive-date = November 14, 2009}}</ref>
