Since the Great Flood of 1993 the Amtrak '' Illinois Zephyr '' and '' Carl Sandburg '' services terminate at the Quincy station , although after the passengers have disembarked the trains do cross the bridge to the BNSF Railway yard in West Quincy , where the equipment is oriented in the proper direction for the return trip on the wye and is stored until the next departure . This Mississippi River crossing does serve as a backup route should the Fort Madison Toll Bridge crossing be unavailable
