Standing Room Only at the Rally for Rail, Baker Street Train Station, April 3, 2009

The only thing missing from the phenomenal restoration of the Pennsylvania Railroad Station on Baker Street in Fort Wayne,  is actual train service. AMTRAK moved its passenger line north to tracks in Waterloo, Indiana over 20 years ago, leaving Fort Wayne without passenger service.

A new effort is underway to restore rail service to the restored station.  The Northeast Passenger Rail Association is asking for help contacting our state legislators. 

A fully occupied, and functioning train station is the best way to preserve a train station.
