County city saw a passenger train make a regular stop was on Sept 30 1967 when the old Monon headed for Chicago on its last run north from Louisville Ky But on Wednesday almost 13 years to the day later the story will change as Crawfordsville once more will hear the shivery screech of steel on steel and conductors yelling At 8:45 am that day seranaded by the Wabash College Pep Band the all new Indianapolis to Chicago takes on passengers at a new glass and ahiminum Amtrak shelter at Green and Spring streets in the shadow of the brown brick Victorian Monon station of yesteryear Crawfordsville Mayor Glenn Knecht said Monday he and his administration will ride on its special five car inaugural run Townspeople in this Montgomery County seat of 13 (XX) are about it Crawfordsville students

Knecht said Amtrak Midwest spokesman Christopher Knapson said Crawfordsville was made a stop because a study of its population and area showed it likely that at least five passengers would board or depart the train on each run Amtrak policy says that if at least five people use the train each trip the city will be a permanent regular stop as opposed to a stop when the train train stops only when someone wants off or is waiting at the platform Stops are fixed for one year then a two month review is held Rensselaer petitioned for a stop but was denied until at least 1981 The Crawfordsville
