Garrett station was a railway station in Garrett, Indiana.
The town of Garrett was established by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad when the line was extended here in 1875. [1] The station would be served by several of the company's named trains, including the Diplomat, Capitol Limited, and Washington–Chicago Express. [2] Service ended in 1971 when the Capitol Limited was discontinued.
The station became a stop on the Amtrak Broadway Limited on November 10, 1990 when the service was rerouted over the former Baltimore and Ohio line through Ohio and Indiana. [3] Amtrak Thruway bus service provided a link to Fort Wayne, which was one of the cities bypassed — this operated until April 2, 1995. [4] Passenger service ended with the discontinuation of the Broadway Limited on September 9, 1995. The station building was demolished that same year. [5]
