Passenger Trains > Anniston, AL platform extension project "paused"Date: 02/22/18 12:25 Anniston, AL platform extension project "paused" Author: illini73 From McClatchy news service via Mass Transit Magazine:
http://www.masstransitmag.com/news/12399260/amtrak-platform-extension-project-on-pause The project would have eliminated "double stops" at this location and expedited baggage handling. Now they are looking at expanding the station parking lot instead.

Big waste of money in my opinion, a combined baggage business coach would have made more sense to me or combine baggage sleeper for the crew.
