Mount Pleasant is an Amtrak intercity train station in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, United States. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad built the pressed brick depot in 1912.[2] The contractors were Whitney & Bergdahl (J. Louis Whitney and K.A. Bergdahl), who were prominent Mt. Pleasant builders at that time. Using funds received under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Amtrak installed a new wheelchair lift and enclosure at the station in 2010.[3]

The Mount Pleasant station has a waiting area and lobby open to the public 365 days a year. The ticket office is staffed for ticket sales and baggage service Monday-Friday excluding holidays or when the agent is out sick or on vacation.[4] Checked baggage service is available at the ticket counter Monday-Friday and trainside with the Conductor on weekends
