Passenger Trains > North American Railway Stations Part 30Date: 09/19/20 03:43 North American Railway Stations Part 30 Author: andersonb109 Next up is New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. Currently used by Amtrak and intercity buses. A recent addition is street car service to downtown New Orleans that connects with the cities other street car lines. That came in handy when two PV's I was a guest on were stabled there for two nights in 2018.

from NOUPT. Throw in a few steam excursions too! Mardi Gras was the magic time there. One could see so many business cars parked in the station. I wish I had seen the 5 depots that existed before NOUPT was opened in 1954. Date: 09/19/20 11:23 Re: North American Railway Stations Part 30 Author: krm152 Thanks for the streetside photo post. Have never seen a photo from that view.
Also never managed to get to NOUPT during any of my trips to new orleans. Thanks again for the series.

Go in the front door, large waiting room, ticket counters rear center, and doors to the platforms behind that.
