History

Bryan station in August 1982

Bryan was originally served by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, later part of the New York Central Railroad. A wooden 19th-century station building constructed by the Lake Shore is still extant, as is a brick freight house constructed by the New York Central. A state historical marker next to the shelter commemorates the speed record set by the M-497 Black Beetle on July 23, 1966, which passed through Bryan.^[2]

Amtrak service at Bryan began in 1980, with a modernist passenger shelter constructed in the early 1980s.^[3][2] In 2020, Amtrak indicated plans for a renovation of the station for accessibility, then estimated to cost $3.3 million.^[3] Groundbreaking for the $5 million renovation took place in June 2024. It includes a 350-foot (110 m) accessible platform plus a station building with a waiting room and restrooms. Construction was expected to take 18 months.^[4]
