“What was done here was masterful!”
– Domenic Sarno, Mayor of Springfield
A Rich History
Springfield Union Station was built in 1926 and helped define central Springfield. From the time of its construction until after World War II, rail travel thrived in this bustling district, with more than 130 passenger trains passing through
daily. The station closed in 1973 and was acquired by the Springfield Redevelopment Authority (SRA) in 1989
In the two and a half decades since, the area surrounding the station has seen significant reinvestment aimed at reclaiming the distinguished character of Springfield and preserving its heritage.
And A Vibrant Future
The SRA’s $88.5 million redevelopment of Springfield Union Station has served as a catalyst for downtown revitalization. The renovated station is a multimodal, mixed-use transportation hub for Amtrak, commuter rail, regional and intercity bus service as well as professional office space for some of the region’s leading businesses.
