    Last time I came through here we were stopped to pick up and drop off passengers at this station…read morewhile I was finishing my tasty chicken dinner. That was 2019, pre-covid, when the menus were better and the stupid Covid protocol wasn't mandating the dining car remain closed and the Porters bring the food to your room. Digressing here :-) But today we've actually here for my sweetheart to board the train and Hattiesburg may just be our future routine train departure point. Since the train companies and the city of Mobile can't get their acts together we are forced to choose New Orleans, LA, Meridian, MS or further points for boarding a train to go up northeast. This one suits us just fine and is closer. There's handicap and temporary parking right by the front door, and there's free overnight parking directly across the street. The seating is old school church-like wood pews and there's several vending machines with drinks and snacks. The one employee that we came in contact with was very friendly and pleasant and she was quite helpful even opening and holding the door for us before boarding, nice. I also enjoyed reading about the history of the station, and some of the old pictures and posters that were hung on the walls all around. This is a beautiful old train station built in 1910 by Southern Railway Company and is an impressive one, designed in the Italian Renaissance style with a clay-tile roof. It has a 14,000 square foot interior and included a 4,000 square-foot passenger waiting room. In 2000, The City of Hattiesburg purchased the depot and 3.2 acres of land from Norfolk Southern Railways initiating a seven-year, $10 million restoration and improvement project. The restored Hattiesburg Depot was rededicated in April 2007 to function as an intermodal transportation center for rail, bus, and taxi services. It would also serve as a space for meetings, exhibitions, and special events. Bottle line: there are some funky train stations across the country, but this one is adorable, quaint, and a pleasure to hang out in while you're waiting on your choo choo.

    It's a beautiful train station that has been renovated in the last few years. Its a working…read morestation but only has a handful of trains a day passing through. It closes right at 5:00 so be sure to get there before then. It really takes you back to a different time, when travel by train was the norm and when people built things to last and to look good. The room next to the waiting room has some pretty artcatectual detailing, and the fixtures are also period. teh flooring also looked original. It is small, so you will probably only spend a few moments walking around, but it will be moments well spent. Check out the train depot, you will be glad you did.
