The Charlotte Amtrak Station in Charlotte, North Carolina is served by three passenger trains. The street address is 1914 North Tryon Street, about 1.5 miles to the northeast of downtown Charlotte. The current station was built in 1961 by Southern Railway as a replacement for the former Southern Railway passenger station located near the intersection of Trade Street and 4th Street in downtown. Southern Railway used the 1961 station as a stop for its passenger trains until 1979, when Amtrak was given control of the operation of the Crescent.
