ThePennsylvania Railroad Station, also known asBaker Street Station, is a former passenger rail station in downtownFort Wayne, Indiana. TheAmerican Craftsman-style station opened to the public March 23, 1914, at a cost of $550,000.^[3]^[4]

History

[edit]

The station saw its most heavy usage duringWorld War II, when about 3,000 visitors passed through the station daily.^[3] The station was also frequented by politicians onwhistle stop train tours, including U.S. PresidentsHarding,Coolidge,Hoover,Franklin D. Roosevelt,Truman, andEisenhower.^[3] Until 1957 aGrand Rapids originating branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad'sChicago-FloridaSouthland made a stop in at the station, and picked up passengers from a connectingWabash Railroad train fromDetroit, Michigan.^[5]^[6] Until 1961 the PRR'sCincinnati, Ohio-Mackinaw City, MichiganNorthern Arrow also made a stop there, and picked up connecting passenger rail cars fromChicago.^[7] Until 1971 thePenn Central ran theBroadway Limited and several otherChicago-New York City passenger trains,Admiral,Manhattan Limited andPennsylvania Limited through the station.^[8]

In the second half of the 20th century, the station served as a stop onAmtrak'sBroadway Limited (Chicago—Pittsburgh—New York) andCapitol Limited (Chicago–Pittsburgh–Washington) lines until November 1990 when Amtrak was forced to reroute about 25 miles (40 km) north of Fort Wayne.^[9] The nearest active passenger train station isWaterloo (for theCapitol Limited), 32 miles to the north.

Today, Baker Street Station's concourse is used as abanquet hall and community events space,^[10] while the east and west wings have been converted into office space.^[3] Over the last decade, residents and local leaders have begun a movement to bring passenger rail service back to the city and station in the form of Amtrak or otherhigh-speed rail service.^[11]

Although the station has been without passenger rail service for over 30 years, it has remained a landmark to the city, designated a Fort Wayne Local Historic District in 1990.^[12] and later, was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1998 as thePennsylvania Railroad Station.^[2]
