Rensselaer is an Amtrak station in Rensselaer, Indiana, served by the Cardinal and Hoosier State.

A small shelter at Rensselaer was built in 1979 and maintained by the local Lions Club. The former Monon Railroad station was demolished in 1981.

A new handicapped-accessible concrete platform was constructed with funds from the 2005 stimulus bill. The platform, which cost around $500,000, was dedicated on April 20, 2011. The 1979-built shelter was later demolished and replaced with a one-story brick building, which opened on August 21, 2013.
