Wilmington Train Station is a passenger rail station in Wilmington, Delaware, formerly known as Pennsylvania Station. The station is located on Front Street between French and Walnut Streets in downtown Wilmington. It has one inside level which has stores, a cafe, Amtrak and SEPTA ticket offices, a car rental office, and a post office; passengers board their trains on the second story train platforms. It is served by Amtrak trains along the Northeast Corridor going south to Baltimore and Washington, D.C., and going north to Philadelphia and New York. It is also served by SEPTA's R2 Regional Rail Line with service to Philadelphia and Newark, Delaware. Like all stations in Delaware, SEPTA service is provided under contract and funded through DART First State, which also provides extensive local bus service.
Continental Airlines code shares on some Amtrak trains between Wilmington and Newark Liberty International Airport. For this reason, Wilmington Station is assigned the IATA airport code of ZWI.
The station was built in 1908 by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and replaced an earlier station erected by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad. This station, along with the adjacent Pennsylvania Building (which housed the offices for the Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad) and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad's Water Street freight depot, were designed by renowned architect Frank Furness.
