Gervais Street Terminal (c. 1898 - 1984)
This Station was built in 1898 and was located on Gervais Street in Columbia.
It was demolished in the 1980s a victim of the city's track relocation program. On the site is now
just a trench for the tracks which once ran downtown. It served as both a freight and passenger
terminal for CN&L trains.
Columbia Union Station (c. 1902)
This station known as Union Station was a departure point for CN&L passenger trains in the early years,
used in addition to the station on Gervais. At the end of dedicated passenger trains on the line
all service from Union Station ended. A mixed passenger / freight train would run from the Gervais terminal
for a number of years to come.

This structure was opened in 1984 to replace the dispatcher's office and the Gervais Street
Freight House that was demolished in 1984.
