The Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad Depot (also known as the Chicago and North Western Railway Depot) is a historic train station on South Main Street in Plainview, Pierce County, Nebraska. Built in 1880, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1] In 2009, it was serving as the Plainview Historical Museum.

It was built to serve the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad, which was later absorbed into the Chicago and North Western Railway. No tracks remain in the vicinity of the depot building.[2]

It is a two-story gabled wood-frame building with a brick facade on a concrete foundation, with a 92 by 23 feet (28.0 m × 7.0 m) plan.[2]
