Columbus, Georgia
While Columbus does not currently have direct passenger rail service, the city is served by an Amtrak Thruway bus connection. This service links travelers from downtown Columbus to the national rail network via connections at stations like Pittsburgh or Toledo, ensuring the city remains accessible to train travelers.
Columbus was once a major rail hub served by the historic Union Station, which was demolished in the late 1970s. The site is now occupied by the Greater Columbus Convention Center, though the station's legacy lives on in the surviving 'Union Station Arch' preserved in the nearby Arena District.
