Marion station is a former Pennsylvania Railroad station in Marion, Indiana.

History

The Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad first ran through Marion on October 19, 1867, though passengers were handled from a small depot at McClure and 14th Streets, near the railroad crossing of the Big Four Railroad. Work on the depot's foundations began in 1893.^[1] The station was built in 1895, delayed almost two years due to prioritizing construction of Anderson's depot due to a limited-time land deal.^[2] The company built a new freight house at 520 Lincoln Boulevard in 1902. Passenger service ended around 1956. It would go on to be converted to a liquor store.^[3] The station building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 2018.
