It is located in the Bronzeville neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. It was named in honor of Lovana Jones who was an Illinois State Representative in the Bronzeville neighborhood.

Metra began construction on the new station in 2009 and it opened on April 3, 2011, after originally being scheduled to open in late 2010. It is located east of Rate Field, home of the Chicago White Sox, and also serves the nearby Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago Police Headquarters, and De La Salle Institute.

Currently, it is the third newest station on the Metra system after Peterson/Ridge station which opened on May 20, 2024 and station which opened on February 5, 2018.

The station is also located roughly 200 ft from CTA's Sox–35th station on the Red Line, in the median of the Dan Ryan Expressway. It is also located within walking distance of the CTA's 35th–Bronzeville–IIT station on the Green Line.

It is about 3.1 mi from LaSalle Street Station, the northern terminus of the Rock Island District, and consists of two side platforms with heated shelters that serve two tracks. As of 2018, 35th Street is the 158th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 245 weekday boardings.

As of 2022, 35th Street is served by 74 trains (37 in each direction) on weekdays, by all 33 trains (16 inbound, 17 outbound) on Saturdays, and by all 28 trains (14 in each direction) on Sundays and holidays.
