Hartford Union Station is the main railway station as well as Bus Station in Hartford, Connecticut. It is located along what is now Amtrak's New Haven-Springfield Line which branches off from the Northeast Corridor in New Haven. The historic station building is near the State Capitol Building. It is a Richardsonian Romanesque building designed by George Keller and built in 1889.

Currently only Amtrak trains use the station, but there are plans to start a new commuter service on the New Haven-Springfield Line. The project is called the New Haven-Hartford-Springfield Commuter Rail Line.

The station was built in 1889, but the entire structure had to be rebuilt after a fire in 1914. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "Hartford Union Station" in 1975.^[1][2]
