New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal

2 Comments


NOUPT serves Amtrak’s City of New Orleans, Crescent, and tri-weekly Sunset Limitedplus the seasonal train ride styled as the Polar Express.It’s also the city’s bus terminal.

This station was among the very last city terminals constructed during the era when the private railroads ran their own passenger trains.

Only ticketed Amtrak passengers were permitted onto the railroad platforms.

Here are few views exposed the other day.

    Brian, the only comment I can give about New Orleans is the HIDING of the trolley stop/terminal at Union Station. All autos can access right in front of the entrance to the Station , but the Trolley is hidden behind a lot of weather related covers a distance to the right when you exit the Station.

    By the way Have a VERY PLEASANT CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year.,
