The Anniston Amtrak Station, located in Anniston, AL, is served by the Crescent passenger train. The street address is 126 West 4th Street, just to the south of downtown Anniston. The station was originally operated by the Southern Railway, and was one of the last railroad-operated active passenger stations in the country, as the Southern Crescent (predecessor to the current Amtrak train) was still operated by the Southern well into the Amtrak era.
In FY07, on average, thirteen passengers boarded or detrained daily at Anniston, making it the third-busiest Amtrak station in Alabama.
The station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "Southern Railway Passenger Station and Freight Depot".[1]
