rdfs:comment

New London Union Station is a historic regional rail station located in New London, Connecticut. It is served by both Amtrak and the Connecticut Department of Transportation's Shore Line East. Located on the Northeast Corridor, the busiest railway in the United States, New London station sees more rail service than either of the stations that border it: Old Saybrook and Mystic. Both of Amtrak's train routes that operate on the portion of the Northeast Corridor north of New Haven — the Northeast Regional and Acela Express — stop at New London station. Along with this service, Shore Line East operates limited service to New London, making it the eastern terminus of the commuter rail service in Connecticut. Greyhound bus service is also available at the station.

New London Union Station is a historic regional rail station located in New London, Connecticut. It is served by both Amtrak and the Connecticut Department of Transportation's Shore Line East. Located on the Northeast Corridor, the busiest railway in the United States, New London station sees more rail service than either of the stations that border it: Old Saybrook and Mystic. Both of Amtrak's train routes that operate on the portion of the Northeast Corridor north of New Haven — the Northeast Regional and Acela Express — stop at New London station. Along with this service, Shore Line East operates limited service to New London, making it the eastern terminus of the commuter rail service in Connecticut. Greyhound bus service is also available at the station. Union station was designed in 1885 by noted American architect Henry Hobson Richardson. This was the last of many railroad stations design by Richardson before his death in 1887, though numerous others (including Boston's South Station) were designed by his students. Union Station is particularly large for a Richardson train station and stands out as the only station not built in the style of Trinity Church, Boston. Though with its multi-faceted roof, prominent arched entrance, and elegant brickwork, this building features many of Richardson's characteristic motifs. New London features a similar layout to its preceding station when travelling toward Boston, Old Saybrook. There is one island platform and a side platform, both of which are high level not only to allow handicapped accessibility but also because the Acela Express requires high platforms in order to serve a station. Like most railroad stations along the the Connecticut Coast, the station was originally built for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad in 1889, and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1971.
