Located on Martin Street, the
train station in Rome was built between 1912 and 1914. The station was
necessitated when tracks were realigned in the city and replaced an older station
downtown. Currently, the station is served by Amtrak.
Restored in 2004, the interior
of this lightly used station is beautiful. Many of the original (or at least
old) features have been preserved. The wood benches that are fixtures in many
stations look pristine. Signs direct patrons to services, such as newsagents
and subways, that are no longer available. Overall, the station is a portal,
not only to other places, but to a time when Rome was larger and more
prosperous.
