The first rail link to Chicago dates to 1864, established by the [[Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad]]. La Grange currently has three tracks belonging to the [[BNSF Railway]] that run through the north end of the village, with passenger rail service provided by [[Metra]] and [[Amtrak]].

Metra's [[BNSF Line]] provides frequent commuter service between [[Aurora, Illinois|Aurora]] and Chicago, with two stations in La Grange. Express service to Downtown Chicago ([[Chicago Union Station|Union Station]]) from [[La Grange Road (Metra)|La Grange Road]] takes approx. 23 minutes. Amtrak's ''[[Illinois Zephyr and Carl Sandburg]]'' (both destined for [[Quincy, Illinois]]) run twice daily trains through La Grange stopping at [[La Grange Road (Metra)|La Grange Road]].

Freight rail traffic on the BNSF line is extremely heavy, with BNSF operating freight trains on all three mainline tracks through the village. During non-rush hours, a freight train may run along the line as frequently as once every ten minutes on average. The [[Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad]], running north–south through the east end of the village, also has extremely heavy freight traffic.
