Westfield Restaurant Will Close On November 1

A popular farm-to-table restaurant in Westfield announced on Sunday that they would permanently close their doors at the end of the month.

Rail has been offering breakfast and lunch in their barn for the past six years. Unfortunately, like many other businesses, Covid-19 hit the restaurant hard.

The restaurant relies on warmer months to cover the colder seasons and this year those months were impacted by the shutdown and limited capacity according to their most recent Instagram post.

November 1 will be their last day in business. The owners will continue to operate the ice cream shop next door, Cone + Crumb.

We are very sad to announce that we will be closing our doors at Rail on Sunday, November 1st. We have loved serving our Westfield community and Hamilton County for more than 6 years! We could not have lasted this long if it wasn’t for all of your support, especially this year, and we cannot thank you enough for being there for us and for Rail. . Covid-19 has hit us hard and continues to take its toll, as it has on the majority of small businesses. Winters are always tough for us on Park Street and generally for many restaurants; therefore, we rely on strong warm weather months to get us through. Unfortunately that was not possible this year due to the shut down, limited capacity and social distancing. . We’ve had some of the best team members in the industry to whom who we cannot thank enough for helping to make Rail what it is. We are so grateful that our landlords, Bob & Michelle Beauchamp, took a chance on us when we asked to put a restaurant in a 100+ year old barn in a completely residential area at the time. Lastly, we want to thank all of you, our loyal guests, who have shared in our passion and vision for locally sourced Hoosier cuisine. We have put our heart and soul into Rail and we are so happy to have shared it with you all! Much love, Toby & Melanie
