The Relay House |

Birmingham Passenger Station |
| Description: |
Built in 1889 to replace the Relay House. It was THE station in Birmingham until 1906 when the Birmingham Terminal Station was built. Birmingham Passenger Station continued to be used by the L&N and possibly the AB&A/AB&C until replaced in the 1960s. Originally a ground level station, the tracks were elevated in the early 1930s. It was located on the corner of 20th St. and Morris Ave. |

Modern L&N Station |
| Description: |
Built to replace the Birmingham Passenger Station (and to free up land for a new high rise office building) this station was actually built on the same parcel of land that the Relay House was located. Although built late in the railroad passenger era, it contained segregated waiting rooms, restrooms and lunch counters. |

Amtrak Station |
| Description: |
In 1974, Amtrak was kicked out of the L&N station by the railroad. They had plans to sell the station and land to a developer so Morris Toters could be built. It never happened and Amtrak has spent the next 40 years in the under track area which was behind the 1960s building sandwiched between that building and and Sugar trucking company. (I know this is a small picture, Ill post a larger one when I can find it) |

This is a track level shot of Central Station showning the platforms and track in the Amtrak Station. Central Station is to be torn down soon to make way for a new Central Station building in the same location. It is more economical to tear down this building and rebuild than to modify it for current needs. |

Progress Update |
| Description: |
This shows the progress of the temporary entrance to the Amtrak Station. It is now scheduled to open on Monday, February 2. You can see how far the entrance will move - the current entrance, since 1974, can be seen in the right middle of the photo. It is beyond the orange construction fencing where the blue canopy is. When this happens, the entire block and Morris Ave will be closed and foundation drilling will begin along with some utility relocation. |

After several months of work, the Temporary Entrance is finally open today, February 9, 2015! It may not be the finest of train station entrances, It does move the project forward and give hope to the long awaited new Intermodal Station. Signage is minimal at this time - You can see the Amtrak Sign above the entrance which had just been moved from the parking lot. |

Slow progress - foundataion drilling |
| Description: |
Russo Corporation is drilling the foundation for the new Station building. There are about 70 holes that are being drilled, with some over 50 ft deep. They are about 2/3 finished. The thing you can note in this view is that the 3 oak trees that were planted by the L&N in front of the 1960s station are now gone. |

Honey Bees |
| Description: |
As a part of building the new station, the construction company needed to remove the brick veneer that was placed by a Law firm in 1979, over the retaining wall on each side of the old station ticket office. When they put the brick up, it covered up the windows in womens lounges on each side. Over the years of sugar transloading ajacent to the station, Honey Bees started visiting. And, it seems they built a nest in the window void behind the brick. Well, Friday, the wall started coming down and here is the bee hive that was found. I dont know how many millions of bees there are in this picture. The hive and bees were removed by a bee keeper the next morning. And, no! we didnt get any of the honey! |

The hole in the wall entrance to the Amtrak station since the mid 1970s is gone! Also gone is the old REA door and the old post office loading dock. All have been blocked up. |

Station view changing soon |
| Description: |
The parking garage across the street from the station is on the National Register of Historic buildings, or so I have been told. It si the first of its type. Over the years it has aged poorly on the outside. While used continuously and currently the parking deck for Condos, the ouside has been allowed to deteriorate. Most people think it is a falling down abandoned building. Finally, something is going to be done. Here is a redition of what it will look like when you exit the new station! |

New building progress from 18th St. |
| Description: |
This is a view of the progress from teh 18th St. end of Morris Ave. The steel is going up! Im told they are actually about a month and a half ahead of schedule! On the corner will be the entrance to the Birmingham Jefferson County Transit Authoritys central office on the second floor. Also there will be a Police substation. Pictures from the other end (19th St) dont show much yet. By the first of the year, I should be able to get a picture that will show more of what to expect when finished. |

Updated view from 19th Street |
| Description: |
Compare this picture to the one from Dec. 29, 2014. You can see the progress made in the last year. Of course, there is a lot of work that has been done that cant be seen. The steelwork is almost complete. |
