Del Rio station is an intermodal transportation center in Del Rio, Texas, United States served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system, as well as by local bus service.
History
[edit | edit source]The station was built in the 1920s to replace an earlier wooden structure. It consists of a center block flanked by two recessed wings, one of which originally served as an outdoor waiting room. The main façade is dominated by five large, round-arch windows accented with scrolled keystones. Below the hipped roof of Spanish red tile, an entablature wraps around the center block. It features classic dentil molding as well as decorative panels, one of which reads “DEL RIO.” [2]
Amtrak completed station upgrades at Del Rio station in October 2023 as part of a $3.8 million project. As part of the construction, Amtrak installed new signage, an enclosure for a wheelchair lift, upgrading facilities for the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. They also installed a 650-foot (200 m) concrete side platform, with walkways connecting to the Del Rio Regional Transportation Center upgraded. A ribbon cutting ceremony occurred on October 10.[3]
