The story published at the time the new center was opened and the old depot
was closed stated that in order to stop at the new station Amtrak would need
to go "down" to the station and climb back "up" to the main line, and they
didn't want to take the time to do so. The suburban tracks at the new center
are considerably below the elevated main line tracks at that point. I don't
know if this truly was a real problem, but it was the excuse Amtrak used for
moving their suburban stop from Aurora to Naperville.
