Munster/Dyer Main Street is a planned South Shore Line rail station located at the foot of Main Street on the border of Munster and Dyer, Indiana. The station and main parking lot itself will reside solely within Munster town limits while additional parking and a maintenance facility will reside within the Dyer town limits. [1] The station will be constructed adjacent to the CSX Monon Subdivision, but will utilize new tracks.[2] Intended to serve as the southern terminus of the West Lake Corridor,[2][3][4] it is expected to open to revenue service in 2025.[1] Dyer Amtrak station is located about 1⁄2 mile (0.8 km) to the south.
