South Station, New England's second-largest transportation center (after Logan International Airport), located at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Summer Street in Dewey Square, Boston, Massachusetts, is the largest train station and intercity bus terminal in Greater Boston. It serves as a major intermodal domestic transportation hub, with service to the Greater Boston region and the Midwestern and Northeastern United States. The historic station building was constructed in 1899 to replace the downtown terminals of several different railroads and is used by thousands of commuter rail and intercity rail passengers daily. The adjacent subway station offers connections to the rapid transit Red Line and Silver Line.
