Chicago Railroad (AE&C) when it opened in 1902. In 1906, a branch to Mount Carmel Cemetery opened from Bellwood. The Westchester branch, originally conceived as a bypass route for the CA&E, opened in 1926 and replaced the Mount Carmel branch for passenger service. Bellwood served as the dividing line between local service provided by the CA&E and that provided by the "L"; it was the westernmost station where eastbound boarding was prohibited onto CA&E trains, as well as the westernmost station where passengers having boarded from Chicago stations were not allowed to alight.
