Valparaiso station was a train station in Valparaiso, Indiana. Initially served by the Pennsylvania Railroad, it was the outbound terminus of the Amtrak Calumet until that service's discontinuance in 1991.[2]

Amtrak began service here on April 25, 1976, as a stop of the Capitol Limited.[3] A fire destroyed the original station building and a small shelter replaced it.[1]
