WATERLOO, Ind. (AP): A 132-year-old train depot in northeast Indiana has been moved about 1,000 feet closer to a bus-type shelter where passengers wait to board Amtrak trains.
Town Manager Tena Woenker says the refurbished structure has free Wi-Fi and electronic signage to provide train arrival information in real time. She says it should make traveling more convenient for the more than 20,000 people who use the station annually for trips to Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C.
The town 25 miles north of Fort Wayne also is planning new sidewalks and curbs and a larger paved parking lot near the depot with street lighting and landscaping. A $1.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation is paying for the work.
