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 Monon 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.
