Central Station was a major train station in Louisville, Kentucky. Built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style, it served several railroad companies until the mid-20th century.

By 1969, only the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway's George Washington remained at the station.[1] That train last called at the station in April 1971. Central Station was demolished in 1972 to make way for Interstate 64.[citation needed][2]
The other major station in Louisville was Union Station. There, passenger trains of the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville Railroad (Monon), Louisville and Nashville Railroad and Pennsylvania Railroad were served.
