1998, to January 27, 2003, including a stop at Waterloo. Renovations and relocation The town received a $420k federal grant (supplemented with $153k in local match and $100k in other funds) in 2005 to renovate the station for rail use. The work included replacement of the roof, windows, and doors; installation of accessible restrooms, and repainting. The renovation was completed in September 2010. In October 2010, the town of Waterloo received a $1.8 million federal TIGER grant to construct station improvements including a new platform, a canopy, lighting, and the incorporation of the restored building. The full-length platform would eliminate the need for the long Amtrak trains to double-stop at the station. However, Norfolk Southern (which owns and operates the line) was concerned about the platform location. A second proposal was created to build a modern station building and platforms east of North Center Street, on the opposite side of the grade crossing from the existing station. This station was to cost $6 million, funded by the 2010 TIGER grant plus $4 million from Amtrak, and begin construction in early 2013 for a 2014 opening. Waterloo accepted the agreement in June 2012, but the 2013 budget sequestration reduced Amtrak's available funds and the project was canceled. In early 2015, the town began a smaller project funded by the original TIGER grant, which included additional lighting and walkways, a new parking lot, and electronic signage. On March 30, 2016, the station building was moved west, adjacent to Center Street. The move provides Amtrak passengers with a more permanent facility. On June 24, 2016, the station building was reopened for passenger use.
