Morris station was a Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway station in Morris, Illinois. Unlike many old stations, the depot is still standing on the south side of the track just west of Route 47. [2] [3] The tracks were built by the Rock Island Line in 1853. [4] The single track line is now on the CSX New Rock Subdivision. [1] Across the tracks is the former Illinois Terminal Railway station house, now used as a business. [2] The station is considered for service on Amtrak's proposed Chicago— Moline— Iowa City line. [5] There is speculation that Metra's Rock Island District will be extended to Morris.
