I’m taking a break this week from the local area and straying to the south for the old train station in Muncie, Indiana. It was built in 1901 for the Cincinnati, Richmond and Muncie Railroad which was later acquired by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. Passenger service ceased in 1949, but was later revived for Amtrak in 1973 and remained until 1986 when a rerouting took place. This past summer I visited Muncie (and other locations) while on vacation in order to ride my bicycle on the Cardinal Greenway trail. That trail uses the right of the way of the former C&O Railroad and the old depot in Muncie now serves as a visitor center and office for the Cardinal Greenway. The inside of the building is simply beautiful and has been wonderfully restored. It has the look and feel of an old train station. If you are ever in the Muncie area, I highly recommend visiting the old depot.
