Chicago Lawn, also signed as Chicago Lawn-63rd St., was a former railroad station on the border of Chicago Lawn and West Lawn in Chicago, Illinois.[1] The tracks adjacent to the station were elevated over 63rd Street in 1929.[2] Service to the station remained until April 30, 1971, when the eastbound International Limited and westbound Inter-City Limited passenger trains were replaced by Amtrak services on May 1, 1971. The station building was demolished in 2017.[citation needed]
