Big Timber Road is a commuter railroad station in the Kane County portion of Elgin, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago. The station is the western terminus of Metra's Milwaukee District/West Line. It is 40 miles (64 km) away from Chicago Union Station, the eastern terminus of the line.^[2] As of 2018, Big Timber Road is the 75th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 699 weekday boardings.^[1] When it opened in 1986 (the same year the Milwaukee Road ceased operations), the surrounding area mostly consisted of farmland. Since then, numerous residential subdivisions have been built.

Big Timber Road presently does not have service on weekends or holidays. There are 20 inbound trains a day, Monday through Friday. Travel time to Union Station ranges from 1 hour, 9 minutes to 1 hour, 30 minutes, depending on the train.
