Warsaw station is a former train station in Warsaw, Indiana.
History
The station site was established as a depot by the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway.[2] The brick station building was constructed by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1893.[3] It was served by several of the railroad's named trains, including the Manhattan Limited and Admiral.[4] Trains ceased to serve Warsaw by 1971 when Amtrak assumed most passenger operations in the United States.
On October 27, 1985, Amtrak added the station as a stop on their Broadway Limited and Capitol Limited lines.[5] Services ended after November 11, 1990, when trains were rerouted further north.
