Janesville station in Janesville, Wisconsin was built in 2000, to serve as the terminus for the Lake Country Limited. Passenger service ceased only a year later, in 2001.[1][2] As of 2021, nothing remains of the station.
The condition of the tracks meant that the train stopped two miles from downtown Janesville, because to go farther would have added 20 minutes. Instead, Amtrak created a temporary station on the east side of the city in an area formerly used for grain loading. The station's amenities consisted of a passenger platform, lighting, and a gravel parking lot.[3]
Originally, service to the station was daily, but this was reduced to weekends only in March 2001, before service completely ceased in September 2001.[4]
