Swamp Rabbit Station

Highlight • Monument

In 1889, the Swamp Rabbit railway began its operations. The rail car featuring Berea's Swamp Rabbit Trail Station today dates back to 1947. It served as a “Heater Car” with two large furnaces providing heat to other freight and passenger cars. In 2007, began as salvage operations of the rails, the rail car was pushed to this location in preparation to be moved via road to a museum in Indiana. Nevertheless, the transport costs including reinforcing a number of bridges proved too great. As a result, the railcar is still in its place. It was renovated in the course of opening the Rabbit Swamp Trail and features the resting place at Berea.
