As of 2018[update], Fox River Grove is the 104th busiest of the 236 non-downtown stations in the Metra system, with an average of 462 weekday boardings.

The station underwent a complete rebuild, that extended platforms to 640 ft, (enough for an 8-car train), 2 new passenger shelters, bathroom facilities, repaved parking lot and improved lighting.

The school bus was caught between the railroad tracks and the intersection with US 14, resulting in the accident.
