The station has two side platforms, and although it does not contain a ticket agent booth, a small heated waiting room is available on the Lunt side between 5:00 AM - 11:00 AM. This line retains the "left-hand main" policy of the original builder, the Chicago and North Western Railway: northbound trains stop on the west platform and southbound trains stop on the east platform.
Rogers Park is served by Metra's Union Pacific/North Line trains, traveling between Ogilvie Transportation Center in Chicago and points as far north as Kenosha, Wisconsin. Rogers Park is the northernmost Union Pacific/North Line station in Chicago. Travel time to Ogilvie is usually 20 minutes, but can be as fast as 15 minutes on a rush hour express train and as slow as 23 minutes during overcrowding.
The closest CTA Red Line station is Morse, located five blocks to the east of Rogers Park station.
As of 2018, Rogers Park is the 26th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 1,393 weekday boardings.[1]
