Nappanee station is a former railway station in Nappanee, Indiana.
History[edit | edit source]
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad constructed the rail line through what would become Nappanee in 1874.[1]:18 The stop was originally a simple wood-framed structure,[2] referred to as Locke-Eby after the nearby town of Locke.[1]:13 The current station building was constructed in 1910 in the Prairie School architecture style.[2][1]:51 Passenger trains ceased serving the town around 1969 with the discontinuance of the WashingtonāChicago Express.
Nappanee became a stop on the Broadway Limited when Amtrak rerouted the train over the former Baltimore and Ohio Main Line in 1990.[3] The town was selected as a stop due to the adjacent parking lot which was owned by the city.[4]:24 This route was discontinued in 1995. Nappanee again became an Amtrak stop when the Three Rivers's western terminus was extended from Pittsburgh to Chicago on November 10, 1996.[4]:30ā31 Service finally ended on March 7, 2005.
The depot underwent restoration in the early 2000s.[1]:51
