The Sandusky station was originally built in 1892 by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, It was designed by architects Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge and was also a work of A. Feick & Bros., and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[2] Today is served by the Capitol Limited and Lake Shore Limited routes, both of which pass through Sandusky in the middle of the night. Because the station consists of only one platform, eastbound trains switch to the usual westbound tracks to pass the station.
