Site work and new construction of a transportation facility in Huntley, Illinois. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a one-story above grade transportation facility.

Gov. JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) are partnering with Union Pacific Railroad and Metra to re-establish intercity passenger rail service from Chicago to Rockford, with intermediate stops planned in Elgin, Huntley and Belvidere. This service will provide efficient, safe and reliable transportation operations, with passenger trains traveling at maximum speeds of up to 79 mph, connecting Illinois communities in Cook, Kane, McHenry, Boone and Winnebago. Passenger rail service is anticipated to begin by the end of 2027. As of July 24, 2025, per owner, the State of Illinois is still working on this project. Plans have not moved forward at this time regarding construction of the train station. They are still conducting studies and gathering information. There is no identified timeline for construction. Service is expected to start in late 2027.
