[7] Goodrum Junction was a rail junction in the township located east of the intersection of present-day County Road 950 North and Indiana State Road 49.

The Goodrum station was the intersection of interurban feeder routes arriving from Valparaiso (the Valparaiso and Northern Railway) and Chesterton and the terminus of the only constructed section of the Chicago – New York Electric Air Line Railroad.

The station connected the line to Gary and LaPorte with passengers from northern and southern portions of Porter County.

[8] The station was also the location of a 300-kilowatt power generation plant that supplied electricity to the railroad.

The plant began operation on July 17, 1911, and was destroyed after it was struck by lightning in 1925.
