Amtrak has been considering moving their service for the Atlanta area to a site near this station to replace their current station in the Brookwood neighborhood.[1][2] While agreements with MARTA and Norfolk Southern are necessary, this would provide the station with a direct connection with Amtrak Crescent service to New York City, Charlotte, Washington, DC, Birmingham, and New Orleans.
The station site is also proposed for possible intercity service on the Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor's Charlotte to Atlanta segment, should a future analysis choose an approach into Atlanta via Norfolk Southern Railway trackage.[3] If the alignment through Doraville is chosen, it is assumed at all trains along the corridor would stop here, due to its connection to the MARTA rail system.[4]
Amtrak had again listed Doraville as a proposed station stop along a corridor route from Charlotte, North Carolina to Atlanta as part of their "Connects US" plan in May 2021.[5] As part of this vision, three round trips would operate to Charlotte daily, with two of these trips extending to Union StationinRaleigh, North Carolina as a possible extension of the existing Piedmont service.[6]
