    Wait time to talk to a rep is RIDICULOUS! I know they're not that damn busy! The station is raggedy looking and ghetto. Ugh..

    It wasn't that bad of a station. To bad it is smack dab in the middle of the Ghetto. An after hours club was still getting down at 0400.

    This location could use a little tlc but considering the area it's as good as it gets. The station…read morehas an interesting history but it is hard to explore it as most of the signs are weathered and difficult to read. But if you can catch a ride on one of the trains it truly is a rare lifetime experience. However, finding the station is tricky, although the site clearly states it's located on Ridge Rd. there are no signs labeling the street at either entrance/exit. If you're coming from Kent you'll want to look for 2 bridges ( one has brightly colored paintings at the base & a sign that reads "hotel parking") & drive around the curve to find free parking. If you're coming from the Northside District near Lock 15, it's directly behind the Northside Marketplace. For the most part, the station is clean and the staff are informative & welcoming. They have a basic knowledge of what's available in the area and can provide you with a number of local activities. However, this station only has porta potty's that are locked during the off hours (the ticket agent explained this is due to vandalism by the locals) & are often disgusting! The trash cans are often overflowing & there's not always enough parking. If you can, DO NOT park on the side under the bridges near the woods!!!! There are homeless people camping there. Also, another disadvantage is that there is no indoor seating or signs directing you to the right car to get on. Although there are volunteers, there were two similar trains running on 10/20 & no one knew which on to board...too much confusion & not enough organization!

    The employees are very helpful. The station is still a dump, but at least they fixed the elevator.read more

    There is something almost laughably absurd about the Pittsburgh Amtrak facility. It's difficult to…read moreactually call it a station: it boasts low ceilings, consistently insufficient seating, harsh fluorescent lights, and no food other than a few vending machines. Anyone who has issues with claustrophobia should be prepared. It's jammed into a corner of the basement of The Pennsylvanian, Pittsburgh's former passenger rail station -- a Victorian-era palace well-known for its grandeur. For starters, the auto entrance/drop-off area on Liberty Avenue is cramped, shadowy, and crowded with cars whose drivers are understandably confused by a chaotic parking/traffic layout. Pedestrians are unceremoniously funneled towards a single (too narrow) sliding entrance door. Anyone arriving via transit has had ample opportunity to admire the historic Pennsylvanian building above as they arrive, so the final approach to the current facility is all the more forboding. The Pennsylvanian building, still one of the city's most impressive landmarks, is now home to luxury apartments; its stunning vaulted stone portico hosts high-end weddings and receptions. The portico, which greeted Pittsburgh's rail passengers during the Gilded Age, now serves as a monument to Pittsburgh's past as a premier US rail hub for both freight and passengers. The names of major railroading cities (New York, Chicago, "Pittsburg" in its "no H" era ... ) and sculptural artworks are carved high upon the inner aspect of its towering structure. To slink into the current Amtrak basement station after glimpsing the sunlit uplands of The Pennsylvanian is to understand on a gut level how American rail travel has been marginalized and its resources have been starved over the decades. I've traveled much of the Amtrak network, but I've never visited a mid-size metro with a station better suited to a fiscally insolvent suburb of 50,000 or fewer. The only thing that's missing is a layer of dust -- because this shabby place is always so busy! Even the train shed where passengers board and arrive is beat to hell and falling apart. Although only a few tracks are still in use, the shed is home to half a dozen tracks, most of which haven't seen use in decades. Yes, Pittsburgh is certainly known for its grittiness -- but the rusty, leaky shed is moving towards the "industrial ruin" or "Berlin, circa 1944" category. The two-star review here is 100% for the station staff, certainly not for anything the physical plant has to offer. The staff members, extremely hard-working and long-suffering, do a very solid job of corralling passengers like livestock as they wait (there's only enough seating for about half of the passengers, so unfortunately crowd management is important). They shepherd passengers toward the escalator after opening it for a pending departure. They cooperate with train-based personnel for boarding. Hopefully, Amtrak will renovate the Pittsburgh facility to a level that's even half of what this city deserves. Amtrak enjoyed an all-time ridership record in 2024. Pittsburgh is frequently mentioned in plans for expanded rail service between the East Coast and the Midwest -- and is on the list for future high-speed rail service. That's wonderful news, but in the short-to-mid term, I'd settle for a station that at least reflects that we successfully survived Y2K. Historian Vincent Scully is attributed with a quotation about the jarring differences between old vs. new NYC-based intercity rail travel. But the saying could be easily repurposed for Pittsburgh. In honor of the Amtrak passengers who cram into the basement of The Pennsylvanian each day: "One entered the city like a god. One scuttles in now like a rat."

Definitely the way to travel longer distances! While our rail system needs updating, the experience is wonderful! We enjoyed our chef prepared meals on our trip home, there was a nice variety of choices and everything was delicious. But the people were the best!! Big thank you's to Vela, Kat, April, Walter and Jacquelin!! You made all the difference and we won't forget you.

It wasn't the best experience of my life. I am still very tired while writing this. The Floridian line of the Amtrak is, as I now know, always very, very late. As it was scheduled to leave the station at 3am, I woke up very early to get to this station on time. All the services were closed (very unfortunate) and me and dozens of others waited in the bare waiting room on uncomfortable seats for over and hour and a half before finally boarding at 4:30am. At least this station in particular was clean and the waiting room was open and the signage was well lit from the outside. 3 stars for the building and services and 2 stars for Amtrak itself. The staff on the train itself was very professional and good at their jobs so there's that. I wish there was a rule against people talking so dang loud the whole ride as 99% of us were trying to sleep!! Only gonna do this again in the case of last resort... like I had to this time.
