Wallace Junction aerial view.

Wallace Junction did not appear on any timetables until the Indianapolis and Louisville (I&L) railroad was constructed to give direct access to the coal fields in Greene County. The depot was built in 1905. The junction and station were named for Chief Engineer W.A. Wallace who served the company from 1900 to 1910.
