Rock Island IA .jpg

Rock Island Line Built in 1870, this historic depot stands proudly in its namesake town in central Iowa. In dire need of repair this wood framed remnant of a time passed has skirted demolition several times in recent years but continues to soldier on. The Iowa Northern Railway (recently purchased by the Canadian National Railway) continues to use this line to Cedar Rapids and points between.
