History

Auburn Junction was at the junction of three railroads near Auburn, hence the name.[1][2]

At Auburn Junction, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the Eel River Railroad, and the Fort Wayne and Jackson Railroad all met at grade. The only thing that remains of Auburn Junction today is the B&O trackage, now owned by CSX and a mile section of the Ft Wayne and Jackson that serves as an industrial spur to two local businesses, also known as the City of Auburn Port Authority.[3]

A post office was established at Auburn Junction in 1884, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1931.[4]
