Junction Railroad Depot, also known as the Morristown Depot, is a historic train station located at Morristown, Shelby County, Indiana. It was built in 1867-1868 by the Junction Railroad, and is a simple one-story, rectangular, building of pinned beam construction. It has a gable roof that extends to shelter a loading platform for 30 feet. The building served as both a grain elevator and train depot. It was moved to its present site in 1976 to prevent it from demolition.[2]:2

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
