South Bend (Amtrak Station)
South Bend is a train station in South Bend, Indiana. It is served by Amtrak Lake Shore Limited service to and from Chicago, Boston and New York, and Capitol Limited service to and from Chicago and Washington D.C..
The station was built in 1970 when the original Union Station in South Bend was abandoned and served as the terminus of the South Shore Line until November 1992, when a new terminal was built at South Bend Regional Airport. Railroads such as the New York Central Railroad and the Grand Trunk Western Railroad used South Bend Union Station, but Amtrak and the City of South Bend vouched for the use of the current station.

Famous quotes containing the words south and/or bend:
“If you are one of the hewers of wood and drawers of small weekly paychecks, your letters will have to contain some few items of news or they will be accounted dry stuff.... But if you happen to be of a literary turn of mind, or are, in any way, likely to become famous, you may settle down to an afternoon of letter-writing on nothing more sprightly in the way of news than the shifting of the wind from south to south-east.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Young, and so thin, and so straight.
So straight! as if nothing could ever bend her.
But poor men would bend her, and doing things with poor men,
Being much in bed, and babies would bend her over,
And the rest of things in life that were for poor women,
Coming to them grinning and pretty with intent to bend and to kill.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
