By 1870 more than a dozen railroads were now converging at the “Crossroads of America.”īeginning in November 1886 a new station was constructed just north of the existing station, and soon a three-story, red brick and granite station with extensive vaulted Romanesque arches and a 185-foot clock tower began to rise towards the Hoosier heavens. The station prospered for decades serving up to 200 trains and thousands of people per day. Union Station united passenger and freight trains from many competing railroad companies into a single convenient downtown terminal. It was America’s first “union” railway depot (whose very name suggests the meeting of several railheads) but soon the idea was duplicated across the nation. It was the first time in American history that all railroad trains could enter and leave a city from a single central station. Union Station was integral to the growth and development of antebellum Indianapolis. The four railroads liked the idea and in 1853 the original Union Depot was built in Indianapolis. In 1848, the city fathers developed an idea to build a single station that all the railroads would share. But they each had their own tracks and their own depots. Over the next decade, other major rail lines would reach town. Railroads connected the young state capital to the rest of the nation. The first railroad came to Indianapolis in 1847 and within a year there were four serving the city. Indianapolis Union Station reopened its doors on Apas a festival Marketplace.
