Union Passenger Terminal

Story

New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal is an intermodal facility in New Orleans, Louisiana, US. Located at 1001 Loyola Avenue, it is served by Amtrak, Greyhound Lines, Megabus, and NORTA with direct connections to the Rampart–St. Claude Streetcar Line.The station is the major southern terminus hub for Amtrak, serving two trains . Amtrak also operates a coach and engine yard near the terminal. It is the second-busiest Amtrak station in the Southeast United States after the Sanford, Florida, station. HistoryThe New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal was built just west of the older New Orleans Union Station to consolidate passenger rail operations from the city's railroad stations. Parts of the station property also are over what once was the turning basin for the New Basin Canal. The main lead track to the terminal follows the path of the old canal (which was filled in) and the Pontchartrain Expressway/I-10.NOUPT was designed in 1949 by the New Orleans architectural firms of Wogan and Bernard, Jules K. de la Vergne, and August Perez and Associates. When it opened in 1954, it was considered an ultramodern facility, completed just at the time that air travel was taking off at the expense of rail travel.

I love Amtrak, I wish we could ride more often. We always get a bedroom and all the meals are free while in 1st class and you can even get it delivered to your room, never had a problem. The porter comes and turns down our beds. Private bathroom, always clean and always fresh and always FUN!

Safe, interesting and fun. Great gift shop, game room, good food and historic murals on the wall. The Amtrak train ride from New Orleans to Dallas was one of the most exciting and interesting in my life. I would love to travel from here or to here again.

The trip down and back on the train was great. While in the station in New Orleans my wallet was stolen. I reported it to both New Orleans PD and Amtrak PD. New Orleans PD treated me like it was a pain for them to take the time to do a report and give me a case number. Amtrak PD was much better to deal with and seemed to take me more seriously. The officer who took the report told me that since I was able to give good see eruption of the person's I suspected the detective would review their video and get back to me in a couple of days to update me. That was 10 days ago and I still haven't heard anything else from either department. As a veteran of over 40 years in Law Enforcement this is not a satisfactory result. At least give me a phone call telling me you don't have anything. Send me a copy of the video and ask me if I see the suspects, do something.

Safe, convenient and easy to navigate. Special lounge for those with sleeping quarters on the train. Food available for sale. Trolley runs right here from the French Quarter and they don't mind luggage

When I 1st started riding the train the quality of the service was great and this was in 2011. For the last couple of year the quality of servoce has declined so much. The Crew has gotten lazing,disrespectful, restrooms are nasty.
