Amtrak Trains from Atlanta Airport (ATL)
It is possible to travel by Amtrak from Atlanta Airport, although there is no Amtrak station located directly at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). Passengers must travel to the nearest train station in the city.
Unlike some major U.S. airports, ATL does not have direct intercity rail connections, so you need to plan an additional transfer.
Nearest Amtrak Station
Location
The closest Amtrak station to the airport is Atlanta Peachtree Station, located at:
1688 Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30309
This station is approximately 13–14 miles (20–25 minutes by car) from the airport.
The station is relatively small and only serves one Amtrak line (the Crescent route), so departures are limited.
How to Get to the Amtrak Station
1. MARTA + Bus (Cheapest Option)
- Take the MARTA train from the Airport Station (inside the Domestic Terminal)
- Get off at Arts Center Station
- Transfer to bus #110 or take a short taxi ride
Estimated time: 35–45 minutes
This is the cheapest option (around $3), but requires a transfer and some walking.
2. Taxi / Ride-sharing (Uber, Lyft)
- Direct door-to-door service from the airport
- Available 24/7 at both terminals
Estimated time: 20–30 minutes

This is the fastest and most convenient option, especially if you have luggage.
3. Shuttle Services
Some private shuttle and transfer services operate between the airport and the Amtrak station, though they are less common than taxis or rideshares.
Always confirm availability and price in advance when booking shuttle services.
