Grew up in Aurora and would catch the commuter train into Chicago out of the old station. You would walk underground and up some stairs to get to the platform to board. That was when it still was the BN and they used F units still.
They're putting a third track in that will go to Orchard Road for a new Metra station. It's funny because the elevation had a third track before they moved the station to the Roundhouse.
No we just call it "the old train station" to distinguish it from "the train station", which is in fact called the Aurora Transportation Center (because the buses are there too). Doesn't matter. Last Friday it started collapsing, and today demolition started. So the old station will be gone by the end of the week.
From what I can see, every shot angle you have is from a position in which you are trespassing. You are going to get arrested one of these days, we just call bnsf police when we see random people up on the tracks.
