Is there a Metro-Train that runs from Chicago to Naval Station Great Lakes?

I am attending my son’s graduation there and would like a way to beat the Chicago Traffic. Also what is the cost from NTC Great Lakes to Chicago?

    On Chicago Metra, take the Union Pacific North line from Chicago (Ogilvie Transportation center at Madison and Canal) and get off at the Great Lakes station.

    Great Lakes is about the 20th stop. The station bisects Great Lakes, specifically RTC (Recruit Training Center) from NTC (Naval Training Center).

    Many an evening during basic did I entertain thoughts of jumping the fence and hightailing it to that station. There was this one spot along the track where a large steam pipe facilitated "escape" (as we saw it then)! :)
