Lockport Chicago & Alton Depot

Built for the Chicago, Alton & St. Louis (forerunner of the Chicago & Alton, and later the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio) the depot has served Lockport continuously for a century and a half.

​​On a rainy September 18, 2010, the Blackhawk noted the historical status of our hometown station with a formal ceremony recognizing the station's 150th anniversary.

A key stop on ​Metra's Heritage Corridor, the City of Lockport expanded the parking lot and platforms in 2010 while leaving the historical station in place. They also did some much-needed touch-up work for the event.

​Thanks to the efforts of Blackhawk president Bill Molony, the Lockport station will not only be recognized as a historical railroad landmark, but also an example of the railroad's continued importance to this community.
