The Greensboro Amtrak Station, located in Greensboro, North Carolina, is served by three passenger trains, the ''Crescent, Carolinian and Piedmont.'' The street address is 236 East Washington Street, and is located in the heart of downtown Greensboro as part of the Galyon Transportation Center. Previously, the station was located at the main rail yard about two miles to the west of downtown. Greensboro Station was originally built in 1927 as the Greensboro Southern Railway Depot. It was a replacement for an 1899 Southern Railway Depot that still exists today, albeit without the gabled-third story and cupola it had in the past. The 1927 depot was donated to the city in 1978, a year before the Southern Railroad finally gave up passenger service. Though efforts to return service to the old station date as far back as 1993, it wasn't reopened to the public until October 1, 2005.〔(Greensborough Southern Railway Depot (NCDOT Rails) )〕 Designed by the New York architectural firm of Alfred T. Fellheimer & Steward Wagner, the 1927 Beaux-Arts facade features Ionic columns, a full entablature, and a three-story arched entry. Inside, the ticketing area features a vast mural displaying the service area of the Southern Railway system in the 1920s.〔((Preservation Greensboro) )〕 == Routes == * ''Crescent'' * ''Carolinian and Piedmont'' 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「Greensboro (Amtrak station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
