Harry & Chris,
A clarification needs to be made here.
The Rock Island did NOT have their own Passenger station, the CB&Q Station
was used and was known as Union Station. The Rock Island did have a freight
house just north of McArthur Bridge - the wagon/automobile bridge, which is
now a restaurant called Big Muddy's.

Chris:
CRIP had its own station, which was a nice place to eat last time I went
through my old stomping grounds. Spoor's CB&Q volume 3 might be of interest
to you. The Burlington station is a two story field stone and glass "modern"
design, similar in style to the one in Ottumwa.
