Glen Ellyn, Illinois has won a $14.4 million Federal grant to be applied to plans for a new Metra train station and pedestrian underpass beneath the triple-track UP West Line.  I hope they are able to follow general plans previously announced for the station, which would meld architectural elements from classic Chicago Aurora & Elgin and Chicago & North Western stations that previously stood in town.   The current station, a nondescript building from the 1960s, has become too small for the number of passengers.
