**West Pullman** is a [commuter rail](/source/Commuter_rail) station along the Blue Island Branch of the [Metra Electric](/source/Metra_Electric) line in the [West Pullman](/source/West_Pullman%2C_Chicago) neighborhood of [Chicago, Illinois](/source/Chicago%2C_Illinois). It is located over [Halsted Street](/source/Halsted_Street) halfway between 120th and 122nd Streets, and is 16.7 miles (26.9 km) away from the northern terminus at [Millennium Station](/source/Millennium_Station).[3] In Metra's zone-based fare system, West Pullman is in zone 2. As of 2018[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Pullman_station&action=edit), West Pullman is the 232nd busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 13 weekday boardings.[2]

Although most of the Blue Island Branch contains only one track, there are two tracks at West Pullman, making it a [passing siding](/source/Passing_loop). The only other station along the branch that has two tracks is the terminus at [Blue Island](/source/Blue_Island_(Metra)) itself. One parking lot exists on the north side of the tracks along the southbound lane of Halsted Street. Due to its close proximity to the outskirts of Chicago, the station provides bus connections from both the [Chicago Transit Authority](/source/Chicago_Transit_Authority) and [Pace](/source/Pace_(transit)) suburban bus system.

A station typology adopted by the Chicago Plan Commission on October 16, 2014, assigns the West Pullman station a typology of *Mixed Residential/Industrial Neighborhood* (MRIN). This typology is an area in which the Metra station serves both residential and industrial uses. Like most of the MRIN stations, the does not have access to CTA rail.[4]
