Alliance (Amtrak Station)
The Alliance Amtrak station is an Amtrak station in Alliance, Ohio, United States. Located at 820 East Main Street, the station consists of an uncovered platform on the south side of the east-west tracks, with a bus stop-style shelter and a small parking lot nearby.
Alliance is served by the Capitol Limited route. Because the station consists of only one platform, westbound trains switch to the usual eastbound tracks to pass the station. Amtrak is the only way, other than by car or the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA) bus from elsewhere in Stark County, for travel to Alliance, the home of Mount Union College, as the city has neither commercial bus nor airline service.
The station serves Canton, Youngstown, and Akron, both of which are forty-minutes (or more) away by car. Alliance is also listed as being the closest Amtrak station to the state's capital city of Columbus, Ohio.

Famous quotes containing the word alliance:
“In short, no association or alliance can be happy or stable without me. People can’t long tolerate a ruler, nor can a master his servant, a maid her mistress, a teacher his pupil, a friend his friend nor a wife her husband, a landlord his tenant, a soldier his comrade nor a party-goer his companion, unless they sometimes have illusions about each other, make use of flattery, and have the sense to turn a blind eye and sweeten life for themselves with the honey of folly.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
