Burlington station was built in 1944 by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q, now BNSF Railway). It is a two-story limestone masonry structure used for Amtrak service, as a bus transfer station and for other city needs.

New Englanders settled here in the 1830s and named their town for Burlington, VT. The arrival of the steamboats, the railroad and a plank toll road in the 1850s established Burlington as a transportation gateway to Iowa. The CB&Q Railroad originated in Burlington. This railroad evolved into the Burlington Route and then the BNSF Railway. Burlington is the home of Snake Alley, the most crooked alley in the world. Burlington has also been called the Backhoe Capital of the World. William Frawley, Fred Mertz on the “I Love Lucy” television shows and Aldo Leopold, one of the founders of the wildlife management and conservation movement, hailed from Burlington.
