[3] Trains are dispatched from the Canadian Pacific Kansas City Railway's American headquarters in Minneapolis.

Of these, 19 inbound trains originate from Big Timber Road, three from Elgin, one from National Street, and three from Franklin Park.

On weekends, Metra operates 12 roundtrips on Saturdays and nine on Sundays and holidays, all running from Union Station to Elgin.

Metra has included the possibility of extending the Milwaukee District West Line along one of two routes in their Cost Benefit Analysis report.

If this were to happen, the line could continue west via CPKC trackage to Hampshire, with an additional stop in Pingree Grove.

The service would provide additional capacity to the existing line; introducing express reverse commute and expanded weekend options between Elgin and Union Station.
