LOCKPORT TRAIN STATION

Built in 1860 to serve the Chicago, Alton & St. Louis railway, the Lockport depot provided services for passengers and freight. Due to the speed of the railroad, this dolomitic limestone structure at 13th Street quickly captured the passenger traffic from the I&M Canal packet boats. Listed on the National Register Of Historic Railroad Landmarks, the station now serves Metra passengers for their daily commutes into Chicago.
