**Hermosa** was a [station](/source/Railway_station) on [Metra](/source/Metra)'s [Milwaukee District West Line](/source/Milwaukee_District_West_Line). The station was located at 1800 North Keeler Avenue in the [Hermosa](/source/Hermosa%2C_Chicago) neighborhood of [Chicago](/source/Chicago), [Illinois](/source/Illinois). Hermosa was 5.9 miles (9.5 km) from [Union Station](/source/Chicago_Union_Station), the eastern terminus of the [Milwaukee](/source/Milwaukee) District West Line.[1] In Metra's zone-based fare system, Hermosa was located in zone B. On December 11, 2006, Hermosa and the nearby [Cragin](/source/Cragin_(Metra_station)) station were closed and replaced by the [Grand/​Cicero](/source/Grand%2FCicero_station) station, which is located between both former stations. Hermosa station was also used by commuter trains of the [Milwaukee Road](/source/Chicago%2C_Milwaukee%2C_St._Paul_and_Pacific_Railroad), the predecessor to Metra.[2] [Walt Disney](/source/Walt_Disney)'s birthplace is located three blocks north of this station on Tripp Avenue. Hermosa was also the first station west of Metra's Pacific Junction (where the MD-W line joins the [Milwaukee District North Line](/source/Milwaukee_District_North_Line)) which is a few feet from the station itself. Pacific Junction contains four tracks (three for Milwaukee District West trains going south to [Chicago Union Station](/source/Chicago_Union_Station) and one going north for [Canadian Pacific Kansas City](/source/Canadian_Pacific_Kansas_City) trains.)
