Dubuque station

Dubuque station was a train station in Dubuque, Iowa. It originally served the Illinois Central Railroad. In 1917, the site was considered for creating a Union station in Dubuque. However, no such plan transpired and each railroad continued to use separate depots.^[4] Over the years, the station hosted the Illinois Central's Hawkeye, Iowan, and Land O'Corn trains. Passenger service ceased upon the formation of Amtrak in 1971, but resumed between Chicago and Dubuque in 1974 under the name Black Hawk.^[5] Service ceased on September 30, 1981.^[3] A proposed revival of the service, since cancelled, was to use the Dubuque Intermodal Transportation Center as its terminal.
