Mount Pleasant station (Iowa)

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]
