Carroll Avenue is a railway station in Michigan City, Indiana, serving the South Shore Line commuter rail line. For reasons of road access and parking, it, rather than the 11th Street station (also located in Michigan City but, prior to 2023, was in the middle of a public street), is the city's primary commuter station for South Shore Line service.

Location

Map

Although Carroll Avenue is not the eastern terminus of the South Shore Line, most trains terminate or start at this station. The coach yard is located here, as well as NICTD's headquarters.

In June 2009, NICTD officials announced their intention to close this station, on an unspecified future date, as part of their plan to revamp the street-running section of the line on 10th and 11th streets within Michigan City.[2] The new alignment was completed in May 2024, however, the station remains open.[3]
