    The Union Pacific North Line is a Metra line in the Chicago metropolitan area. It runs between Ogilvie Transportation Center and Kenosha, Wisconsin; however, most trains terminate in Waukegan, Illinois. Although Metra owns the rolling stock, the trains are operated and dispatched by the Union Pacific Railroad.
    Metra does not refer to its lines by particular colors, but the timetable accents for the Union Pacific North line are dark "Flambeau Green," a nod to the C&NW's Flambeau 400 passenger train.[3])

    The current timetable as of September 13, 2021, has 37 inbound trains and 37 outbound trains on weekdays. Of these, five inbound trains originate from Kenosha, 18 from Waukegan, six from Highland Park, and eight from Winnetka. Nine outbound trains terminate at Winnetka, five at Highland Park, 18 at Waukegan, and five at Kenosha.

    13 inbound trains and 13 outbound trains operate on Saturdays. Of these, five inbound trains originate from Kenosha and eight from Waukegan. Six outbound trains terminate at Waukegan and seven at Kenosha.

    Nine inbound trains and nine outbound trains operate on Sundays. Of these, three inbound trains originate from Kenosha and six from Waukegan. Six outbound trains terminate at Waukegan and three at Kenosha.

    During the summer concert season, on weekends, an extra outbound train RAV1 travels to Ravinia Park during events, with a train returning to Chicago after the concert.
