Although Des Moines was historically a train hub, it does not have passenger train service. For east-west traffic it was served by The Rock Island's "Corn Belt Rocket" express from Omaha to the west, to Chicago in the east. The Rock Island also offered the "Twin Star Rocket" to Minneapolis to the north and Dallas and Houston to the south. Northward and northwest bound, there were Chicago and North Western trains to destinations including Minneapolis. The Wabash Railroad ran service to the southeast to St. Louis.
