Latrobe station is an Amtrak intercity rail station located in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. The station is near the center of the city, and is currently served only by Amtrak's Pennsylvanian, which operates once per day in each direction.
The historic station itself exists, but currently serves as a restaurant. There is no ticket office available at the small shelter (complete with bench seats) which serves as the current station. Due to the small number of passengers, Latrobe Station is a flag stop.
History
The station was opened in 1903 by the Pennsylvania Railroad as part of a project to elevate the right-of-way as it passed through Latrobe. The architect, William H. Brown, used an eclectic Late Victorian style. It is a one-story, brick building, eight bays wide and five bays deep. It has a flat roof with parapet and a central cross gable. The gable end over the main entrance has a pediment with stone panels and terra cotta decoration.[1] The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[2]
Until 2005, Latrobe was served by a second daily train, the Three Rivers (which had replaced the Broadway Limited in 1995), an extended version of the Pennsylvanian that terminated in Chicago. Upon its cancellation, the sole Pennsylvanian marked the first time in Latrobe's railway history that the town was served by just a single daily passenger train.
The Westmoreland County Transit Authority has one bus route, Route 9/9A – Greensburg/Latrobe/Derry, that stops adjacent to the train station and one other route, Route 20F – New Florence/Greensburg, that stops within Script error: No such module "convert". of the station. Greyhound also has an intercity bus stop about Script error: No such module "convert". from the station, at 803 Alexandria Street.
In April 2023, Amtrak announced plans to upgrade the station to make it accessible in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.[3] By December 2023, the $1.7 million project was awaiting approval due to the historic nature of the station.[4] since April 2025[update]Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., construction is expected to begin later in 2025.[5]
