Up to 100,000 passengers pass through Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza each year, making it Ohio’s busiest passenger rail hub. In 1996, the Port Authority completed an $8.5 million renovation of the historic Central Union Terminal facility and it now serves as a modern, intermodal train and bus terminal and office complex.
Toledo, Ohio is served by four trains daily to Chicago and several destinations to the east including Cleveland, Ohio, Washington, D.C., Boston, Massachusetts, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and New York City. [link]
The Historic Central Union Terminal, Toledo, Ohio, opened with great fanfare the week of September 17, 1950 the $5,000,000 C.U.T. was the last of NYC’s great stations. The new terminal was the crown jewel of a large post-war investment by the New York Central Railroad into Toledo, which involved constructing 9 new buildings, as well as moving and expanding (in conjunction with the B&O) an $18,500,000 coal loading facility from East Toledo to Maumee Bay. C.U.T. was used by 4 major railroads during the 1950s and 1960s: the New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio, and the Wabash Railroad. The first floor housed baggage services, while the second floor housed a YMCA for train crews. The passenger terminal and concourse were on the third floor, while the NYC Toledo division and dispatching offices were on the fourth. [link]
