Pensacola station is a former train station in Pensacola, Florida. It was served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system. The station served as a replacement for the former Louisville and Nashville Passenger Station and Express Building. In 2005, service has been suspended since Hurricane Katrina struck Pensacola.[2] In late 2021, the station building was converted into a veteran memorial museum.[3]
