This mobile edition of Dave's Depots takes us to Burlington, Iowa. Burlington is on the bank of the Mississippi River, and along the mainline of the Burlington's main east-west line. The depot, a modern one, built around 1940, looks more like something you would see in a Heywood Wakefield furniture catalog, or something designed by Ray and Charles Eames.
The depot is in use, for Amtrak service, and as the local transit company's bus terminal. Otherwise, the building looks abandoned, and is well-worn. The waiting room is abandoned, with a sign laying on the floor that says "This Place Matters," laying where it fell after once being on display in the window.
