I have seen pictures taken in the 1970's on rrpicturearchives.net or railpictures.net of two tracks that ran west from the Aurora Transportation Center site (before it became the new Aurora station) alongside the viaduct to the then in service Aurora Station in downtown Aurora. The pics even showed an Amtrak Train powered by SDP40F's using these tracks. They were abandoned and the RoW was paved over for parking lot usage later on in the 1970's. This RoW can and should be used again for commuter service west of Aurora, IL.
