The La Grange Road Amtrak / Metra commuter rail station. La Grange Illinois. June 2007.

Seen here just west of the intersection at La Grange Road alongside Burlington Avenue, is the La Grange passenger rail station utilized by both Amtrak, and Chicago's Metra commuter rail trains. This attractive brick depot, serves Metra commuter passengers on the BNSF Railway Chicago to Aurora 3 track mainline, refered to by most r]Chicago railfans as "The 3 track Racetrack". The Amtrak Illinois Zephyr regional passenger trains to and from Quincy Illinois stop here as well.
