Description
The Terminal Station at 1400 Market St. opened in 1909 and closed in 1970. It later reopened as the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. African-Americans wishing to buy tickets had to enter through a separate door and wait in a segregated room. In 1962, the ICC ordered all segregation signs removed.
