Metra had plans for a new Romeoville station on the Heritage Corridor since the early 21st Century. The station and accompanying parking would be located on the property belonging to the Citgo oil refinery between Lemont and Lockport.[3][4][5] In May 2017, Metra went ahead with the plans when they broke ground for the new station in Romeoville.[6] The new Romeoville station opened on February 3, 2018.
