Alton (Amtrak station)
Alton, IL (ALN) is a suburban St. Louis Amtrak station in Alton, Illinois served by the ''Lincoln Service'' and the ''Texas Eagle''. This was also a stop for the ''Ann Rutledge'' until April 2007. The former Alton Railroad station, later used by the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad is built of brick, and is staffed. It is one of 3 Amtrak stations in the St. Louis metropolitan area; the other two are the Gateway Multimodal Transportation Center located in downtown St. Louis, and the Amtrak station in Kirkwood, Missouri.
Under the Federal Railroad Administration’s High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) program, the state of Illinois received $1.2 billion to improve the Chicago-St. Louis rail corridor so passenger trains will be able to attain regular speeds of 110 mph. Part of the funding awarded to the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) included $7.4 million for the construction of a new station in Alton, which is one of the busiest Amtrak stops in the state.〔(Great American Stations ). Accessed March 20, 2013.〕 In December 2011, the city received an additional $13.85 million for the new station through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Transportation Investments Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program.〔(Great American Stations ). Accessed March 20, 2013.〕
The future Alton Regional Multimodal Transportation Center will accommodate intercity passenger rail, local and regional buses, taxis, and cyclists. IDOT architects will design the station, and the city will then assume ownership and maintain the property.〔(Great American Stations ). Accessed March 20. 2013.〕
