47th Street station was a commuter rail station of the Chicago and Western Indiana Railroad on the south side of Chicago.
The depot at 47th Street was a two-story stone structure that was directly between two sets of merging tracks, with platforms on both sides. Passenger service on Chicago and Western Indiana Railroad ended in 1963, and the station closed on July 29, 1979 when the Norfolk and Western Railway (ex-Wabash Railroad) bypassed the station.[4] The station structure remained long after passenger service had ended, with the structure being removed in the 1990s.
