History:

Many of the stations on the Stock Yards branch -- and three of the four in the yard itself -- were named not for streets but for the meat packing companies whose plants they were near and served. Wallace -- located outside of the yards themselves, a few blocks east -- was an exception, named for Wallace Street, a north-south thoroughfare.

Wallace was closed a few years earlier than the rest of the Stock Yards branch, shuttered on May 3, 1952. The rest of the Stock Yards branch closed in 1957.
