Gary Metro Center (also known as the Adam Benjamin Metro Center) is a South Shore Line commuter station serving the city center of Gary, Indiana. It is one of three NICTD electric train stations in Gary, and serves the Genesis Convention Center, home of the Gary Steelheads basketball team, and the U.S. Steel Yard baseball park, home of the Gary SouthShore RailCats baseball team. The RailCats's full name, SouthShore RailCats, honors the South Shore Line.
Gary Metro Center was built in 1984 as an elevated replacement of the previously ground level Broadway Street Station. It also serves as the central bus terminal and headquarters of the Gary Public Transportation Corporation (GPTC), and as a Greyhound Lines bus station.
The station is just south of the Indiana Toll Road (I-90) and Gary Union Station. The tracks of the former Baltimore and Ohio (now CSX) and New York Central Railroads (now Norfolk Southern) also lie near the station.
