McCook station was an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway station in McCook, Illinois.[2] The station was next to the McCook Junction, where BNSF and Indiana Harbor Belt/CSXT tracks interchange.[3] The station closed in 1971 when Amtrak took over United States passenger rail, although freight service still runs on the double-tracked line.
