Historic Longview Depot Celebration for Platform ADA Improvements
Local leaders in Longview and Amtrak officials will celebrate the completion of ADA platform improvements of our station with a ribbon-cutting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14.

Through its ADA Stations Program, Amtrak is addressing accessibility needs in more than 350 stations where it has some type of ADA responsibility, e.g., station building, passenger platform, and parking.  As of close April 2022, Amtrak's ADA responsibility has been addressed at 90 of the 387 stations where Amtrak currently has full or partial responsibility. There are an additional 72 locations where Amtrak’s responsibility has been addressed except for the platform, which will require additional work. This totals 162 stations where Amtrak has addressed at least a portion of its responsibility; 168 station construction projects in total.

The Historic Longview Depot is a Local Historic Landmark and is served by the Amtrak Texas Eagle, with service to and from Chicago and San Antonio, via Dallas and St. Louis.
