The J. Douglas Gaylon Depot (an intermodal station in downtown Greensboro, NC) will start receiving Amtrak service on Saturday, October 1, 2005. The station is already open and serving intercity and local buses. Amtrak will be moving about three miles north of its current Greensboro stop, which will be eliminated.
The station once functioned as a rail station. The last train to stop there was the northbound CRESCENT 26 years ago. The first train to stop there will be the southbound CRESCENT that departs from New York and Washington on Friday, 9/30. The CRESCENTS in both directions will utilize a 1250-foot platform close to the station building. The PIEDMONT and the CAROLINIAN will use a shorter 850-foot platform that is connected to the depot via a tunnel. (The latter two trains turn off the NS mainline onto NS's "H" line on their way to Raleigh.)
