In the picture left, you see the old platform (middle in the photo).  Shelter type waiting area was on the old platform, but it was removed.  You also see the brand-new platform at the right bottom corner of photo.  Since the new transportation center opened in 2004, the Amtrak platform also moved to the current location in the same year.
