It is part of BNSF's Chicago, Illinois, to Seattle, Washington, Northern Transcon.
From then on, this track hosted some of the fastest trains in the world for the time period, including the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad's Twin Cities Zephyr.
However, the line does host occasional passenger trains in the form of excursions or for reroutes of the Empire Builder when necessary.
There was an old train station on Broadway (Route 25) about a mile south of the Aurora Transportation Center, but it was demolished in 2013, following damage from a thunderstorm.
The Aurora Subdivision is mostly single track with sidings between Aurora to Plum River, south of Savanna, with the exception of double track from Steward through Rochelle to Flagg Center.
