If you’re younger than 30, you probably have no idea that you could once catch a train in downtown Fort Wayne and travel to places like Chicago.
That ended in 1992, when Amtrak moved its train station to Waterloo, about 30 miles north. According to City Councilman Geoff Paddock, the move happened because of a dispute over who would maintain a stretch of track in the northwest corner of the state.
Four years ago, an organization called the Northeast Indiana Passenger Rail Association sprang into existence with the goal of bringing rail service back to Fort Wayne, which, according to Paddock, is the largest city in the state without passenger rail service.
