Springfield Big Four Depot was a passenger train station in Springfield, Ohio, built and operated by the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway, commonly referred to as the "Big Four Railroad." Construction on the station began on November 22, 1909, and it opened for service in 1911. The brick structure was located at 202 Washington Street and Spring Street, east of the Big Four's previous station on the south side of Washington Street.[1]
The Big Four had been acquired by the New York Central Railroad in 1906 but operated independently until it was fully absorbed into its parent railroad's operations in 1930. Many politicians, such as Richard Nixon in his 1968 presidential campaign, made campaign stops at the station.
