History
A small shelter at Rensselaer was built in 1981 and maintained by the local Lions Club.[1][3] The former Monon Railroad station was demolished in 1981.[4]
A new accessible concrete platform was constructed with funds from the 2009 stimulus bill. The platform, which cost around $500,000, was dedicated on April 20, 2011.[4] The 1979-built shelter was later demolished and replaced with a one-story brick building, which opened on August 21, 2013.[3]
