History:

Full station profile and history coming soon.

Although tracks for the Chicago Aurora & Elgin and the Aurora, Elgin & Fox River Electric are long gone, the St. Charles storefront terminal still stands, as seen on May 9, 2010. Most people walking or driving past wouldn’t realize that this was once a train station.
