Greensburg station is anAmtrak railway station located approximately 30 miles (48 km) east ofPittsburgh at Harrison Avenue and Seton Hill Drive inGreensburg, Pennsylvania. The station is located just north of the city center. It is served only by Amtrak'sPennsylvanian, which operates once daily in each direction.
The station was opened in 1912 by thePennsylvania Railroad as part of a project to elevate the right-of-way as it passed through Greensburg.William Holmes Cookman served as architect.[4] The depot is constructed of red brick laid in aFlemish bond pattern with stone trim and quoins on the building's corners; the overall architectural style is Jacobean Revival. A copper ogee dome with a finial tops a tall square clock tower. Ornamented parapets with center cartouches and corner finials surround the dome.[5]
From March to November 1981, the station was the eastern terminus ofPennDOT'sParkway Limited train, which took commuters to Pittsburgh. Until 2005, Greensburg was served by theThree Rivers (a replacement service for theBroadway Limited), an extended version of thePennsylvanian that terminated inChicago. Its cancellation marked the first time in Greensburg's railway history that a single daily passenger train served the town. The small shelter that serves as the present station has no ticket office.
The station has been listed on theNational Register of Historic Places since 1977.[6] The historic station now houses a restaurant.[7]
Westmoreland County Transit Authority's transit center is approximately 0.3 miles (0.48 km) south of the train station. All WCTA bus routes pass through Greensburg Station at the transit center.Greyhound also has a bus stop at the WCTA transit center.
Design work for accessibility improvements at the station was completed in early 2025. As of April 2025[update], construction is expected to begin in 2026.[8]
