History
Between August 5, 1984 and October 26, 2009, Amtrak's Pere Marquette (Chicago—Grand Rapids) stopped in New Buffalo at a station along the old C&O alignment. This station was located approximately seven blocks south of the current station. When the current station opened the Pere Marquette stopped serving New Buffalo, although the trains still pass through town.[3][4][5]
