McCook is an Amtrak intercity train station in McCook, Nebraska. It is served daily by Amtrak's California Zephyr. The depot opened on April 13, 1926 by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad to replace an earlier structure from 1882. The brown brick depot features Tudor Revival detailing as seen in the pointed arch windows and the buttresses that divide the facades into regular bays.[4]
