History
Until 1970 South Shore Line interurbans served downtown South Bend at LaSalle and Michigan. The city had long wanted to eliminate street running, while the South Shore was looking to reduce costs as passenger traffic declined. The South Shore embarked on a program to consolidate its operations in South Bend. This included constructing the current station building at Meade and Washington and selling the old downtown station, which had opened in 1921. When Amtrak began serving South Bend in 1971 it used this station instead of the larger Union Station. The South Shore Line moved its terminus to a new terminal at the South Bend Regional Airport in November 1992.
