The station is 43.8 miles (70.5 km) away from Ogilvie Transportation Center along the railroad tracks.[2] The station opened in January 2006, when the West Line was expanded from Geneva. The station is located at ground level. A large coach yard is located just east of the station.[3] As of 2018, Elburn is the 137th busiest of the 236 non-downtown stations in the Metra system, with an average of 336 weekday boardings.[1]
The first station in Elburn was established in 1854 with the arrival of the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad. This later merged into the Chicago and North Western Railway (C&NW) and was on the Omaha–Chicago main line.[4] The C&NW eventually merged into the Union Pacific Railroad in 1995, the current operator of the line
