Location

As of February 15, 2024, Oak Lawn Patriot is served by all 30 trains (15 in each direction) on weekdays. Saturday service is currently suspended.

The station was renamed Oak Lawn Patriot in 2012, due to the newly constructed 9/11 memorial on the station site.^[4][5] The memorial features two steel columns from the demolished pre-2001 World Trade Center twin towers in New York City displayed as a memorial to the victims of the September 11 attacks. Most official websites, as well as on-train announcements refer to the station as Oak Lawn Patriot, however timetables and other sources may still refer to it as simply Oak Lawn.

Trains operate as far north as Chicago Union Station, and as far south as Orland Park and Manhattan.
