The Galena station of Galena, Illinois was built in 1857 and originally served the Illinois Central Railroad.[6] The two story Italianate structure is included in the Galena Historic District. Over the years, the station hosted the Illinois Central's Hawkeye, Iowan, Land O'Corn, and Sinnissippi trains. These trains connected Galena residents as far as Chicago in the east and as far west as Sioux City, Iowa. Passenger service ceased upon the formation of Amtrak in 1971, but resumed between Chicago and Dubuque in 1974 under the name Black Hawk.[7][8] Service ceased again in September 30, 1981.[4] Today, the old depot hosts the Galena Visitors Bureau.[9] Restoration of the Black Hawk was planned in the early 2010s, but the portion west of Rockford was indefinitely postponed in 2014.
