Belleville station is a historic train station in Belleville, Wisconsin.[1]

History

Built for Illinois Central Railroad, the depot serviced both passenger and freight trains.[2] The depot stopped serving passenger trains in 1931 and freight trains in 1943. For a number of decades afterwards, the building was used by multiple parties to store grain. Additionally, the depot has become a focal point of the Badger State Trail.[3] The trail itself is made up of the former rail line the depot served, as the pathway was acquired by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources after rail operations ceased.[4] In 2016, it was added to the State and the National Register of Historic Places as the Belleville Illinois Central Railroad Depot.
