Hartford Union Station in Hartford, Connecticut was built in 1889 and has continually served the passengers of the region since, subsequently being added to National Register of Historic Places since 1975. On its first revenue run leading after coming to Springfield, Massachusetts the night before with train 146, AMTK 100 leads Amtrak Train 157 from Springfield, Massachusetts to New Haven, Connecticut on the morning of Sunday, May 16, 2021.
