Dyer is an Amtrak station in Dyer, Indiana, served by the ''Cardinal'' and ''Hoosier State'', and is the penultimate station for both trains. Dyer Station was merely a sheltered platform and a little shelter with just seats before a renovation in 2014, which demolished the 1970s era "Amshack" shelter, built a larger station house which was ADA accessible, and repaved the platform and parking lot.〔http://www.greatamericanstations.com/Stations/DYE〕 It is located near an at-grade crossing of two railroad lines; CSX (formerly the Monon Railroad) and the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern.〔(Crossing CSX and EJ&E; August 28, 2001 (TrainWeb) )〕 The original depot stood at the diamond junction itself.〔Longest (2007), 93.〕 It is possible that Amtrak's Hoosier State service will be discontinued in late 2015 do to high cost and low ridership, therefore withdrawing frequent service from Dyer. The Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) has proposed a line to Lowell, Indiana using Dyer as a stop. However, the station is intended to be south of both the existing station and the CSX/EJ&E crossing at U.S. 30.〔(West Lake Corridor Study (NICTD) )〕 == Connections == On August 2, 2010, Northwest Indiana Regional Bus Authority revamped the Hammond Transit System into EasyGo Lake Transit. The newly introduced Red Route terminated approximately a mile northeast of the station, at Main/Calumet intersection. Riders could take the Red Route to Munster, Hammond and Chicago's East Side neighborhood. They could also transfer to other EasyGo routes and connect to other towns and cities throughout Lake Country. Hammond Transit and EasyGo Lake Transit discontinued all service on June 30, 2012.〔http://www.rba-nwi.org/index.cfm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dyer (Amtrak station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
