The Amtrak passengers have to walk a rather long way aways to get to the platform.

SIMS (St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern) had two through routes this this metro area. By they 1954, MoPac had bought SIMS. MoPac and SSW (Cotton Belt) had branches that terminated here. I presume that MoPac and SSW shared this station with SIMS. Rock Island also had a through route, but they had their own Rock Island Depot. What remains of all of these routes is now owned by UP.
