Metra Union Pacific/North Line trains go south to Ogilvie Transportation Center in Chicago and as far north as Kenosha, Wisconsin. In Metra's zone-based fare schedule, Kenilworth is in zone D.
The station is on Kenilworth Avenue between Green Bay Road and Richmond Road. Northbound trains stop on the west platform, and Chicago-bound trains stop on the east platform.
