Morris station was a Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway station in Morris, Illinois. Unlike many old stations, the depot is still standing on the south side of the track just west of Route 47.[2][3] The tracks were built by the Rock Island Line in 1853.[4] The single track line is now on the CSX New Rock Subdivision.[1] Across the tracks is the former Illinois Terminal Railway station house, now used as a business.[2] The station is considered for service on Amtrak's proposed Chicago—Moline—Iowa City line.[5] There is speculation that Metra's Rock Island District will be extended to Morris.
