Elgin is one of three stations on Metra's Milwaukee District/West in Elgin, Illinois. The station is 36.6 miles (58.9 km) away from Union Station, the eastern terminus of the line. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Elgin is in zone H.

The Elgin Metra station was to also serve as a stop on the revival of Black Hawk Amtrak service between Chicago, Rockford and Dubuque, that was supposed to begin in 2015, but has since been put on hold for further review by IDOT by Governor Bruce Rauner, and it is unknown whether it will proceed. The original proposal for the route was to have a station in South Elgin.

Weekend trains on the Milwaukee District West terminate here.
