Paradise Spring Riverwalk

In 1872, the Cincinnati, Wabash, and Michigan Railroad was built through Wabash County. It later became the Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati, and St. Louis Railroad, also known as the Big Four.

The Big Four maintenance shops were constructed on this site. Remnants of the roundhouse wall and the outline of the turntable remain.

The depot, pictured to the left, was located at the east end of the park.
