Rensselaer station is an Amtrak station in Rensselaer, Indiana, served by the Cardinal.
History
A small shelter at Rensselaer was built in 1981 and maintained by the local Lions Club. [1] [3] The former Monon Railroad station was demolished in 1981. [4]
A new accessible concrete platform was constructed with funds from the 2009 stimulus bill. The platform, which cost around $500,000, was dedicated on April 20, 2011. [4] The 1979-built shelter was later demolished and replaced with a one-story brick building, which opened on August 21, 2013. [3]
