The 'Charlottesville Amtrak Station', located in
Charlottesville, VA, is served by the ''
Cardinal'' and ''
Crescent'' passenger trains. The street address is 810 West Main Street, along Business US 250, between the
University of Virginia and downtown Charlottesville.
The original ''Union Station'' was built in
1885 to jointly serve the
Charlottesville and Rapadan Railroad, the
Virginia Midland Railway, and the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. Major renovations in
1915 included the construction of a baggage handling facility, which serves as the
Amtrak ticketing office and waiting area since
1999. The main facility has been privately developed since that time for commercial use. Plans coincident with the redevelopment to create a transportation hub at ''Union Station'' have not been brought to fruition as of mid-2005, as other plans for such a hub remain under consideration.
