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, the railroad plans for a $3.3 million renovation of the station for accessibility, which would include the addition of restrooms.[3]
