Illinois Central Depot at Independence Iowa

            In 1892, the Illinois Central station began to serve a dual role as both a freight and passenger service. With this in mind, the railroad line built a new passenger depot in 1891 that was a necessity to help take care of the crowds convening for the races at the kite shaped race track.The Illinois Central Railroad Depot, hosted many travelers:  soldiers from the Spanish-American War, President Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony.

Today, the Chicago Rock Island Depot and the Illinois Central Depot have been restored and relocated along highway 150 in Independence and serves as the home for Buchanan County Tourism. To accompany the relocation, a locomotive and caboose were donated and are on display next to the train depot
