Peachtree Station

The Atlanta Amtrak Station, located in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, is served by the Crescent passenger train. The street address is 1688 Peachtree Street, in the Brookwood section of town between Buckhead and Midtown. Designed by architect Neel Reid, it was built in 1918 as a commuter stop on the northside of town for the Southern Railway whose main stop was Terminal Station downtown. The new station was formally named Peachtree Station by Southern, but informally it was widely referred to as Brookwood Station. Terminal Station closed in 1970, at which time Peachtree Station became the only passenger station in Atlanta still open. Amtrak took over the Crescent from Southern in 1979 and became the station's tenant. Amtrak passengers...
