Some work improving passenger flow at Amtrak’s Gainesville station is scheduled to be completed this month. “Work to improve accessibility for passengers includes enhancing the entrance, restrooms and signage,” Amtrak spokeswoman Kimberly Woods said. The station at 116 Industrial Blvd. has been a longtime stop for Amtrak as part of its Crescent route that runs from New Orleans to New York City, including a stop in Atlanta.
