Louisville and Nashville Railroad Station (Evansville, Indiana)
Louisville and Nashville Railroad Station, also known as L & N Station, was a historic train station located in downtown Evansville, Indiana. It was built in 1902 for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and was a Richardsonian Romanesque style rock-faced limestone building. It consisted of a three-story central block with two-story flanking wings, and a one-story baggage wing. It had projecting gabled pavilions and a slate hipped roof.: 2 The station was host to tenant railroads, in addition to the L&N. In 1935 the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad closed its depot and ran its trains to the L&N's station. The Big Four (by this point, fully integrated into the New York Central Railroad) also ran its trains to the station. With the end of Illinois Central passenger trains into its Evansville station in 1941, the L&N station that year became the sole passenger train station in the city that year.Temporarily, immediately after the Ohio River flood of 1937, the trains serving the station were diverted to the Chicago & Eastern Illinois' deactivated depot.
