I just wish they connected all the way North to the Amtrak station. Never the less, I'm going to try to enjoy the blue line and downtown trolley this winter break.

There is a plan for a new downtown Charlotte station for Amtrak, plus some commuter service. Station to be in the exact location as original Southern Railway station. It will be a while before this happens, at it will be entirely new, building, station tracks, and all. Although, North Carolina has been consistently moving along, and they did do a restoration of the Greensboro Station. In that case the building was still there, but needed a lot of restoration work, but the platforms and access to them are new.
