Alliance station is an Amtrak train station in Alliance, Ohio, United States. It is served by the daily Floridian service. The station has a single side platform serving the south track of the Fort Wayne Line, with a brick shelter building.
History
The station site in earlier years served Pennsylvania Railroad, then Penn Central passenger trains northwest to Cleveland, west to Detroit, west to Chicago and east to Philadelphia and New York City. Amtrak service began at the station when the Capitol Limited was rerouted north in fall 1990 from Canton station in Canton. The Pennsylvanian served Alliance from 1998 to 2003.
Amtrak spent $1.5 million to improve the station in 2011. It built a new shelter and installed a 550-foot (170 m) long concrete platform, signage and light poles. Developed by d+A Design+Architecture, LLC of Yardley, Pennsylvania, the shelter is composed primarily of rich red brick and has an enclosed, one-story waiting room with large windows. On the facades facing the street and the tracks, the waiting room is marked by stylized projecting bays faced with coursed ashlar stonework that adds texture to the overall elevation. The design is similar to Connellsville station in Pennsylvania.
