Claim: The Joliet Union Station (designed by architect Jarvis Hunt in the Beaux Arts Classical style - built in 1912), despite continuously providing train services until September 2014, was superceded by the Joliet Transportation Center, which is currently the 51st busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 996 weekday boardings.
Evidence: Joliet Union Station was designed by architect Jarvis Hunt in the Beaux Arts Classical style, and was built in 1912. Train service to Joliet Union Station permanently ceased in September 2014. It was replaced by the new Joliet Transportation Center in 2018, a train station that was constructed adjacent to the Union Station's location. As of 2018, Joliet is the 51st busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 996 weekday boardings.
