Shelburn Interurban Depot-THI&E Interurban Depot is a historic interurban train station located at Shelburn, Sullivan County, Indiana. It was built about 1911 and enlarged between 1916 and 1920. It is a one-story, red brick and limestone building that housed passenger and freight rooms and a substation for the electrical system that powered the interurban cars. It was used for its original purpose until the closure of the interurban line between Terre Haute, Indiana and Sullivan in May 1931.[2]:4, 13
