The structure at Zion Station is an unmanned decorative shelter. In the building are some seats and also some shelves for book exchange. It also serves as a stop for passengers who visit Illinois Beach State Park.
Many trains on the UP-N line do not serve Zion. Most trains terminate at Waukegan; Zion is most served during peak hours only, with a few weekend trains. This limited rail service makes this station an impractical method of reaching Chicago during off-peak hours. Passengers can take the 571 bus which goes to Waukegan.
