Talks Emerge About Amtrak Passenger Rail Linking Atlanta to Nashville. All Aboard? | Curbed AtlantaToday, Atlanta’s only Amtrak passenger rail station allows riders to head west, toward Alabama, and northeast, toward the Carolinas. Imagine, though, if you could board at the Peachtree Station and make a beeline toward Nashville—and maybe a pitstop in Chattanooga for lunch. That scenario could become reality, if tentative plans for a new Amtrak line pan out. According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Tennessee leaders are in talks with Amtrak officials about developing such a route. A Tennessee state House representative told the publication that policymakers believe the project could be a long way out, but there’s definitely enough interest to get transit wonks talking.
