AMTRAK Station at Jefferson City

The closest AMTRAK station to Columbia is in Jefferson City.   These pictures are in order from walking down to the station, looking around a bit, and then entering then exiting the waiting room.  The station is ran by volunteers. 


The first two pictures are of some historic buildings as you approach the tracks and the station proper.



These pictures were taken down at the tracks.







These are pictures of the waiting and ticket area.






A favorite trip of mine is to take the kids on a train trip from Jefferson City into St. Louis. Then my wife will meet us at the downtown station.  It is a lot of fun and highly recommended especially if  you, or  your children, have not traveled by train.
