New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal (New Orleans, Louisiana)

The New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal opened in 1954 to consolidate passenger rail operations from the city's other railroad stations. The stub-end terminal consists of a modern waiting hall, featuring a 120-foot-long mural of Louisiana and New Orleans history, painted by Conrad A. Albrizio with the assistance of James Fisher.

The station is the major Southern hub for Amtrak, with three trains (Sunset Limited, City of New Orleans and Crescent) serving the city. Amtrak also operates a coach and engine yard near the terminal.

In the 1970s, parts of two platforms were shortened to allow for Greyhound Lines to build an intercity bus terminal, sharing the terminal with Amtrak and creating an intermodal facility.
