Hinsdale is one of three stations on Metra's BNSF Railway Line in Hinsdale, Illinois, and the only one open daily (the other two are served during rush hours only). The station is 16.9 miles (27.2 km) from Union Station, the east end of the line.[4] In Metra's zone-based fare system, Hinsdale is in zone D. There is a staffed station building. Originally known as the Brush Hill Train Station, the depot was designed for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad by staff architect Walter Theodore Krausch, built by Grace & Hyde Company in 1899, and is listed as a contributing building in the Downtown Hinsdale Historic District.[5]
