Service is provided by Lincoln Service and the Texas Eagle. The current station is the rail line's former freight depot, renovated in 2017.[2] Adjacent to the current station structure is a brick Spanish Mission-style depot building, constructed in 1911[2] by the former Chicago and Alton Railroad and later used by the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad. Although no longer used by Amtrak, the historic 1911 depot has been renovated for commercial use. During the 1980s and 1990s it served dually as a railroad station and restaurant.[3] HistoryMany pioneers of Illinois's Logan County tried to develop towns within the county that could become the county seat and business center for local farmers. Early plats and developments include the Postville Courthouse State Historic Site and the Mount Pulaski Courthouse State Historic Site. A final decision on the county seat was not reached until 1853, when a railroad, the predecessor of what was to become the Chicago & Alton, laid tracks through the county as part of a trunk line from Chicago to St. Louis. Railroad management selected a site along the tracks for development, and named the new town after the railroad's lawyer, Abraham Lincoln.[4] On August 27, 1853, Mr. Lincoln arrived from Springfield and led a ceremony by the railroad tracks to mark the founding of the new town. The successful lawyer paid a farmer to bring a wagonload of watermelons, which were handed out to the celebrants. Lincoln cut into one of the melons and "christened" the railroad trackside with the juice.[4] TodayThe spot where this celebration took place is the site of the Lincoln, Illinois railroad depot complex today, and a watermelon monument stands on the south lawn of the former 1911 depot.[4] The 2017 depot primarily serves passengers for Chicago, St. Louis, and points in between, as its predecessor did when the railroad was built in 1853. The 2017 renovation of the depot complex re-purposed former freight space as an Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant station for train passengers, while making historic passenger space available for other uses. The $4.1 million renovation project was funded through United States Department of Transportation High Speed Rail Initiative money.[2] References1. ^{{cite web |title= Amtrak Fact Sheet, FY2017, State of Illinois |publisher= Amtrak |date= November 2017 |url= https://www.amtrak.com/content/dam/projects/dotcom/english/public/documents/corporate/statefactsheets/ILLINOIS17.pdf |format= PDF |accessdate= 26 December 2017 }} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news |author= |title=Ribbon-cutting set for $4.1M Lincoln train depot renovation |url=http://www.bnd.com/news/business/article187866244.html |work=Associated Press |location=Belleville News Democrat |date=December 3, 2017 |access-date=December 4, 2017 }} 3. ^Great American Stations.
