Garrett station was a railway station in Garrett, Indiana.

History

The town of Garrett was established by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad when the line was extended here in 1875.^[1] The station was named after John Garret, then President of the B&O.^[2] The station would be served by several of the company's named trains, including the Diplomat, Capitol Limited, and Washington–Chicago Express.^[3] Service ended in 1971 when the Capitol Limited was discontinued.^{[citation needed]}

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.^[4] Amtrak Thruway bus service provided a link to Fort Wayne, which was one of the cities bypassed—this operated until April 2, 1995.^[5] Passenger service ended with the discontinuation of the Broadway Limited on September 9, 1995. The station building was demolished that same year.^[6]
