The station is named with both of the names by which US 30 is known locally: Lincoln Highway and 211th Street. The station and tracks are built on an elevated roadbed and a bridge which spans US 30. This bridge also carries the Amtrak line that runs parallel to it, carrying the City of New Orleans, Illini, and Saluki trains. Parking is available on westbound US 30 between the railroad bridge and Olympian Way, and along eastbound US 30 on the southeast corner of the bridge, which is accessible from Homan Avenue via Indiana Street in Park Forest.
