Passenger Rail Services
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 facility and it now serves as a modern, intermodal train and
bus terminal and office complex.
Toledo is served by four trains daily to Chicago and several
destinations to the east including Washington, D.C., Boston,
Pittsburgh, New York, Cleveland, and Philadelphia. You can contact
Amtrak to book your reservation.
The Grand Lobby of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Plaza located at 415
Emerald Avenue, Toledo, OH 43602 is also available for catered events,
meetings, and civic gatherings. Contact Gladeiux Catering at (419)

freight through the region. With several rail yards loading petroleum
products, automotive parts, completed automobiles, bulk and break-bulk
cargo, and food products, Toledo ranks as one of the top five rail
hubs in the U.S.
