Nappanee station is a former railway station in Nappanee, Indiana.

History

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 Washington–Chicago 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]^: 30–31 Service finally ended on March 7, 2005.

The depot underwent restoration in the early 2000s.^[1]^: 51
