Terminal Station (Atlanta)
- Terminal Station (Atlanta)
Terminal Station in Atlanta was the larger of two principal train stations in downtown, Union Station being the other. Opening in 1905, Terminal Station served Southern Railway, Seaboard Air Line, Central of Georgia (including the "Nancy Hanks" to Savannah), and the Atlanta and West Point. The architect was P. Thornton Marye, whose firm also designed the Fox Theater.
After Amtrak was created in 1971, Terminal Station closed and remaining passenger train service in Atlanta shifted to the much smaller Peachtree Station, commonly known as Brookwood Station. Terminal Station was razed in 1972, although Southern retained one platform for its use. The site of Terminal Station is now the Richard B. Russell Federal Building.
