Lena station is a proposed train station located in Lena, Illinois, and will serve a new Chicago-Rockford-Dubuque Amtrak route that was expected to begin operation in late 2014 or early 2015, but has since been put under review by the state of Illinois.[1] Lena would be a flag stop; the only one on the route.[2] However, with the new proposal for Amtrak service to terminate in Rockford following the inability of the state of Illinois to reach a deal with the Canadian National Railway for use of their tracks, the Lena station project is on hold until a deal can be reached with the CN.[3]
