A few weeks back I rode Amtrak #4 past the old Aurora station, slightly west of downtown.

Did Metra or CB&Q ever use this station for commuter trains? And was the overnight yard always back at the roundhouse? Finally, it seems there's been some environmental remediation in the empty lands around the station and tracks - was this originally railroad property, and what was there?
Thanks guys, I've become quite curious about that area lately.
