Route 59, the busiest outlying station on Metra
Naperville, Illinois
Lost on Belmont · CC BY-SA 3.0 · Wikimedia Commons
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. The subdivisions that filled in around it turned a field halt into the busiest of Metra's 236 outlying stations, averaging about 3,260 boardings on a weekday, served by 67 trains a day.
