The Alliance Amtrak station is an Amtrak station in Alliance, Ohio, United States. Located at 820 East Main Street, the station consists of an uncovered platform on the south side of the east-west tracks, with a shelter and a small parking lot nearby. Amtrak spent $1.5 million to improve the station in 2011. It built a new shelter and installed a 550 foot long concrete platform, signage and light poles. Developed by d+A design+Architecture, LLC of Yardley, Pennsylvania, the shelter is composed primarily of rich red brick and has an enclosed, one-story waiting room with large windows. On the facades facing the street and the tracks, the waiting room is marked by stylized projecting bays faced with coursed ashlar stonework that adds texture to the overall elevation. The design is similar to Amtrak stations in Okeechobee, Fla., Connellsville, Pa., and Winnemucca, Nev.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alliance Station )〕 Alliance is served by the ''Capitol Limited'' route. Because the station consists of only one platform, westbound trains switch to the usual eastbound tracks to pass the station. Amtrak is the only way, other than by car or the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA) bus from elsewhere in Stark County, for travel to Alliance, the home of Mount Union College, as the city has neither commercial bus nor airline service. The station serves Canton, Youngstown, and Akron, both of which are forty-minutes (or more) away by car. Alliance is also listed as being the closest Amtrak station to the state's capital city of Columbus, Ohio. ==Transit connections== SARTA's Alliance Transit Center is located within walking distance of the station, which serves as a point of convergence for all routes that serve Alliance (Routes 130, 131, 135, 136, 139). However, the current calling times of the ''Capitol Limited'' make the connection difficult. All SARTA service to Alliance ends three hours before the arrival of the Chicago-bound train and doesn't resume until three hours after the arrival of the Washington D.C.-bound train. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alliance (Amtrak station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
