Belmont station (Metra)


Belmont is the westernmost of the three railway stations on the Chicago Metra's BNSF Railway Line that are located in Downers Grove, Illinois. The station is on Belmont Road from Union Station, the east end of the line.
Like Downers Grove Main Street, Belmont has connections to both Pace Buses, and the Village's own Grove Commuter Shuttle. Unlike the stations at Main Street and Fairview Avenue however, Belmont has parking vendors.
The station underwent major renovations in the late 2000s. In order to reduce level crossing accidents, an underpass was installed. Belmont Road was re-routed underneath the tracks. Demolition began in late 2008, construction started in 2010, and the new underpass and pedestrian tunnel opened in 2012. The $60 million project was funded by Metra, BNSF, DuPage County, and the State of Illinois.
Many trains during the weekday rush hours skip this station. In addition, all weekend trains stop here.
