Amtrak Standard Stations Program
text:
The Amtrak Standard Stations Program was an effort by Amtrak to create a standardized station design. The railroad launched the effort in 1978 to reduce costs, speed construction, and improve its corporate image. These stations became colloquially known as "Amshacks," a portmanteau of "Amtrak" and "shack," due to their small size and shape.
