Rensselaer is an Amtrak station in Rensselaer, Indiana, served by the Cardinal and Hoosier State. The current Rensselaer Station is little more than an enclosed sheltered waiting area built in 1979.[2] The former Monon Railroad station house was demolished sometime before that year.[3]

Of the 11 Indiana stations served by Amtrak, Dyer was the tenth-busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 5 passengers daily.
