Peachtree is a train station in Atlanta, Georgia. It is currently served by Amtrak's Crescent passenger train. The street address is 1688 Peachtree Street, Northwest, in the Brookwood section of town between Buckhead and Midtown.HistoryDesigned by architect Neel Reid, it was built in 1918 as a commuter stop on the northside of town for the Southern Railway whose main stop was Terminal Station downtown. The new station was formally named Peachtree Station by Southern; informally it was widely referred to as Brookwood Station. Terminal Station closed in 1970, and after the start of Amtrak in 1971 when Union Station closed, Peachtree Station became the only passenger station in Atlanta still open. Amtrak took over the Crescent from Southern in 1979 and became the station's tenant.ArchitectureDesigned in an Italian Renaissance style of architecture, the depot features Palladian windows and classical elements such as pilasters and a molded entablature.Amtrak passengers often note that the station is small and is elevated far above the tracks, requiring use of a long stairway or elevator. This design reflects the original intent of the station as a suburban stop and the much smaller size of Atlanta at the turn of the 20th century.
