Lafayette is an Amtrak station in Lafayette, Indiana, served by the Cardinal and Hoosier State. The current station location was established in 1994. The Amtrak train previously stopped in the middle of the city's 5th Street, near the former Monon Railroad depot.[3] The station building was moved to its current location from a different site. It is a Romanesque style depot built in 1902 by the Lake Erie and Western Railroad and Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway,[4] as the Big Four Depot. The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[2]

Of the 11 Indiana stations served by Amtrak, Lafayette was the second-busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 70 passengers daily.[1]
