Description


Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railroad Passenger Station (Clarion, Iowa)

Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railroad Passenger Station, also known as Rock Island Railroad Depot, is a historic train station located in Clarion, Iowa, United States. The station was built in 1898 by A. H. Connor & Company of Cedar Rapids, Iowa for the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railroad (BCR&N). Clarion also had a Chicago Great Western Railway depot, no longer extant. At one time there were 14 trains that served the city. In 1903 the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway acquired the BCR&N, and this depot served that railroad. The single story, Romanesque Revival, brick structure measures 26 by 88.5 feet (7.9 by 27.0 m).[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
