Moline station

Moline station refers primarily to two distinct railway stations that served the city of Moline, Illinois:

• The former Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (Rock Island) station: This station, also known as the Rock Island Depot, was a prominent structure located in downtown Moline. It served as a crucial transportation hub for passengers traveling on the Rock Island line. Service at this station ceased with the decline and eventual bankruptcy of the Rock Island Railroad in the late 20th century. The building itself faced periods of vacancy and potential demolition but has been subject to preservation efforts. Details on its architectural style and precise operational timeline can be found in historical records and local archives.

• The current Moline station for Amtrak: This station, officially known as the Moline Transportation Center, serves as the western terminus of the Quad Cities train service operated by Amtrak. The Quad Cities provides passenger rail service between Chicago and Moline, connecting the Quad Cities region to the national Amtrak network. The new station is a modern facility designed to integrate with other transportation modes and foster economic development in the downtown area.
