Here, approximately 514 employees rebuild and overhaul Amtrak’s Superliner, Viewliner, Surfliner, Heritage, and car fleets. P32, P42, and F59 locomotives also are overhauled and rebuilt here for use across the Amtrak system, as is other equipment for Amtrak’s state partners and other passenger railroads.

Amtrak performed heavy overhaul, periodic maintenance, repainting, and other upkeep on 275 pieces of equipment in FY14. This included contract work on behalf of Amtrak state partners and other passenger rail operators.

The supply components to other Amtrak facilities, including couplers, overhauled air conditioners, overhauled air brake valves, and about 300 other types of components unavailable elsewhere.

2 Indianapolis Distribution Center The Indianapolis Distribution Center (IDC) is Amtrak’s largest material and supply facility. Clean and modern, the IDC boasts 180,000 square feet of inside storage space. Using state-of-the-art technology, 16,000 stock-keeping-units (SKUs) are inventoried electronically to prevent issues innate to manual cataloging and to keep the stock instantaneously updated. The IDC is conveniently located less than a mile from the Beech Grove shops. It employs approximately 30 full- and part-time personnel. Material for all purposes, from coach seats to toilet paper and locomotive parts are distributed from the IDC to 31 Amtrak terminals nationwide.

Station Improvements  Rensselaer: A new depot/shelter was constructed by Amtrak and dedicated on August 21, 2013. It replaced a small shelter built by Amtrak around the time the previous station was razed in 1981. A new, 550-foot, ADA-compliant concrete platform was finished in April 2011.  Dyer: Amtrak completed construction of a new, ADA-compliant depot/shelter, platform, and parking lot in spring 2014.  Local organizations in many cities along the route of the Cardinal and Hoosier State have “adopted” their stations and voluntarily tended to facility upkeep. Cities such as Dyer, Rensselaer, Lafayette, Crawfordsville and Connersville stand out as keepers of the rail gateway to their communities. This includes landscaping, painting, and general maintenance and beautification.

Indiana Gateway As part of the High-Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Program (HSIPR), Indiana was the recipient of a $71.4-million grant to alleviate congestion at the major rail junction at Porter. Multiple railroads meet here, including three Amtrak routes to Michigan and two Amtrak long-distance routes from Chicago to the east. Construction is now underway to make eight separate improvements along the congested railroad segment from Porter west to the state line. Seven of the improvements will be on track owned by Norfolk Southern and the eighth on Amtrak’s Michigan line at Porter. The work will include crossover tracks and related signal improvements, and additional sidings.
