Gary, formerly Miller, was a train station in the Miller Beach neighborhood of Gary, Indiana.
History[edit]

Amtrak began stopping trains here in 1982 when the Cardinal was reactivated.[2] The Cardinal was rerouted through Indianapolis on April 27, 1986, ending service to the station.[3] Gary would continue see Amtrak service via the daily Calumet at the train station at 5th and Chase until 1991.
