'''Nappanee station''' is a former [[railway station]] in [[Nappanee, Indiana]].

==History==
The [[Baltimore and Ohio Railroad]] constructed the rail line through what would become Nappanee in 1874.<ref name=Wenger>{{cite book |last1=Wenger |first1=Amy Lant |title=Around Nappanee |date=2003 |publisher=[[Arcadia Publishing]] |isbn=9780738531540 |ol=3697108M |url=https://openlibrary.org/books/OL3697108M/Around_Nappanee}}</ref>{{rp|18}} The stop was originally a simple wood-framed structure,<ref name=Longest /> referred to as ''Locke-Eby'' after the nearby town of [[Locke, Indiana|Locke]].<ref name=Wenger />{{rp|13}} The current station building was constructed in 1910 in the [[Prairie School]] architecture style.<ref name=Longest>{{cite book |last1=Longest |first1=David E. |title=Railroad Depots of Northern Indiana |date=2007 |publisher=[[Arcadia Publishing]] |isbn=9780738541310 |page=46}}</ref><ref name=Wenger />{{rp|51}} Passenger trains ceased serving the town around 1969 with the discontinuance of the ''[[Washington–Chicago Express]]''.
