Main Line

Utica Station was a Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad station in North Utica, Illinois (also known as Utica). The station is about 90 miles west of Chicago[1] and is on one of the few double tracked parts of the CSX New Rock Subdivision (Joliet—Bureau).[2] It is also just west of a grain elevator and a small yard to load hopper cars.[2] The building was heavily damaged by an April 20, 2004 tornado, that killed 8 in Utica.[3] Because of that damage, it was eventually razed.
