State Street is the first station along the Blue Island Branch of the Metra Electric line in the West Pullman neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. The station is officially located at State Street, South of 120th Place (though in reality runs along the median of 121st Street), and is 15.60 miles (25.11 km) away from the northern terminus at Millennium Station.[1] In Metra's zone-based fare system, State Street is in zone D.

A station typology adopted by the Chicago Plan Commission on October 16, 2014 assigns the State Street typology of Low Density Neighborhood. The station is surrounded primarily by residential uses. Most riders walk or bike to the station. There is no commuter parking lot for this station, but there is still parking near the station.[2]
