Fox Valley Mall opens and the subdivisions follow it out2.0 mi

Route 59, the busiest outlying station on Metra3.0 mi
Metra opened this stop on the BNSF line on 16 July 1989 and named it for the road rather than for a town, because it sits exactly on the Aurora and Naperville boundary and neither city would have been right.
