Location

It is the southern terminus for the Carolinian and Piedmont, as well as a service stop on the Crescent. As of fiscal year 2018, it is the busiest station in North Carolina, and one of the busiest in the Southeast.

The outdated station, disconnected from the city center, will be replaced by a new station uptown, Charlotte Gateway Station, which is tentatively scheduled to open for Amtrak service in 2026-27.
