The condition of the tracks meant that the train stopped two miles from downtown Janesville, because to go farther would have added 20 minutes. Instead, Amtrak created a temporary station on the east side of the city in an area formerly used for grain loading. The station's amenities consisted of a passenger platform, lighting, and a gravel parking lot.[3]
Originally, service to the station was daily, but this was reduced to weekends only in March 2001, before service completely ceased in September 2001.[4]
