South Bend was the eastern terminus of the South Shore Line located at the corner of LaSalle Avenue and Michigan Street in downtown South Bend, Indiana. This station, situated on the site of a former Masonic Temple, was the South Shore's third South Bend station and opened on August 3, 1921. In 1928, the station was remodeled to resemble the 11th Street station in Michigan City. The redesigned station featured restrooms, waiting rooms, food concessions, and was staffed by a ticket agent. The South Bend terminal remained in service until 1970, when the Chicago, South Shore and South Bend Railroad eliminated street running in South Bend by truncating the line. It was replaced by a new station at Washington Street.
