Union Station, Railway station in Montgomery, United States
The three-story brick and limestone building stands on a high bluff along the Alabama River with six railway tracks under a 600-foot-long shed.
Built in 1898 by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Union Station served as a central transportation hub connecting Montgomery to cities across the United States.
The station design incorporated separate waiting areas and entrances reflecting the social practices of racial segregation prevalent in the American South during that period.
The building now functions as the Montgomery Area Visitor Center, providing tourist information and hosting various commercial enterprises in its restored interior spaces.
The station retains one of the few surviving examples of 19th-century gable-roofed train sheds in the United States, which now serves as covered parking.
