Ottawa station was a Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad station in Ottawa, Illinois. It was located just east of Columbus Street and on the south side of the track.[1] The building had the same design as Rock Island Line stations in Iowa City and Council Bluffs, Iowa.[2] The station is east of a junction with the Illinois Railway (former CB&Q branch line to Streator).[3] The still standing station house is used for CSX maintenance of way vehicles.
