The current Savannah Amtrak Station was opened in 1962, replacing the city’s older Union Station, a grand Beaux-Arts building that stood downtown until the early 1960s. While Union Station symbolized the golden age of early rail travel, the new station represented progress — designed to accommodate the growing number of postwar travelers in a modern, streamlined environment. https://amtraktrainstations.com/stations/savannah-amtrak-station/
