<p data-start="653" data-end="1189">Savannah has been linked to the railway since the early 19th century, long before automobiles and airplanes shaped modern travel. The city&rsquo;s first train connections made it a vital hub for trade and passenger transportation throughout the southeastern United States. The current Savannah Amtrak Station, which opened in 1962, replaced the older Union Station located in downtown Savannah. This transition reflected a modernization of rail infrastructure, as the city moved toward a more efficient and accessible transportation system.

<p data-start="1191" data-end="1544">Though its design represents the mid-20th century&rsquo;s practical architecture rather than the ornate grandeur of its predecessor, the station has aged gracefully &mdash; blending retro charm with modern-day utility. Today, it continues to serve as a key stop along Amtrak&rsquo;s Silver Service routes, linking travelers from New York to Miami with comfort and ease.
