Railroad station.
The Tampa Union Station Company was organized in 1911 in order to establish a unified railroad passenger terminal to replace the various individual railroad stations in the city. When the Union Station building, located at 601 N. Nebraska Avenue, was completed in 1912, it was served by three railroads: Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, Seaboard Air Line Railway and Tampa & Gulf Coast Railroad. The Union Station remained Tampa's railroad passenger terminal until the 1970s. Following World War II, the building became the property of the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, and its successor, CSX Transportation. Since the 1970s, Amtrak has leased the property for its limited passenger service, using the building for storage. On May 12, 1988, the City of Tampa Architectural Review Board designated the Tampa Union Station as an historical landmark. Due to the efforts of Tampa Union Station Preservation and Redevelopment Inc., the Tampa Union Station was reopened after extensive renovations on May 30, 1998.
