A distinctive historical building in Lockport is the Lockport Train Station.  This structure is located west of 13th and State Streets and parallels the path of the Illinois Michigan Canal.  It is built of limestone.  It was completed in 1863 and initially served as a stop on the long defunct Chicago, Alton and St. Louis Railroad.
The tracks were also used by the Gulf, Mobile, and Ohio Railroad.
