The Fairbury Rock Island Depot and Freight House in Fairbury, Nebraska is a historic railroad station and freight house complex which served trains of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (Rock Island Line). The Renaissance Revival passenger station began construction in 1913 and had a grand opening on February 10, 1914. The second story of the station housed the Western Division Headquarters for the railroad. The passenger station served trains including the Rock Island's Rocky Mountain Rocket from Chicago to Colorado Springs and Denver.[1] When the Rocky Mountain Rocket was terminated on October 15, 1966, the Rock Island's passenger service was discontinued at Fairbury. The division offices had been relocated a year earlier.[2] The adjacent metal freight house was constructed in 1940 and served the railroad until 1963.
Both buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 1996. The passenger station is now occupied by a museum.
