South Shore Commuter Rail Line announced the new Hammond Gateway Station will open and become operational for train service effective Friday, October 18th.
Beginning October 18th, passengers previously utilizing the Hammond Station on Hohman will begin boarding and detraining all South Shore Line trains out of Hammond Gateway, located at 4530 Sheffield Ave.
The Sheffield station is one block west of the Hohman station.
“As of October 18th, the Hammond Station at 4531 Hohman Ave. will be permanently closed,” said Amber Kettring, Customer Service & Communications Manager of South Shore Line. “In the future, the Hammond Station parking lot on Hohman Ave. will begin to be utilized as an overflow lot for the Hammond Gateway Station.”
“We sincerely appreciate our passengers’ patience and cooperation through this stage of the West Lake project,” said Michael Noland, President of South Shore Line. “We’ve hit a milestone in this project with the opening of Hammond Gateway and this puts us that much closer to the opening of the full line extension, to be named the South Shore Line Monon Corridor upon completion.”
