The railroad station has long been a focal point of life in American cities and towns, but in many places the Amtrak station is little more than a bus-stop style shelter.
Elyria, Ohio, is one of those places. Its station is new, but offers minimal amenities.
The city and county have been talking for years about having Amtrak’s Lake Shore Limited and Capitol Limited stop at the former New York Central passenger station in Elyria, which is now used by local transit buses.
But that project is expensive and bogged down in red tape and political conflicts. Perhaps some day it will all work out.
In the meantime, the bus shelter station will have to do.
It is shown on June 26, 2019, from aboard the eastbound Lake Shore Limited, which was more than three hours late when it arrived in Elyria.
