Just north of the station is the Hill Yard, a large coach yard used to store the Metra trains on theBNSF Line. Aurora is a stub-trackterminal, which means the Metra tracks end here.

The building was torn down in April 2013.^[5] Amtrak service shifted toNaperville station, and continues to stop there presently.
