Yemassee Station is an Amtrak train stop in Yemassee, South Carolina. Located at 15 Wall Street (erroneously listed as 9 Main Street in the Amtrak timetable and at Amtrak.com), the station consists of a covered platform on the northwest side of the northeast-southwest tracks, a small parking lot, and a building. The building is mostly boarded up, but it does have a small waiting room for Amtrak passengers. It also contains a freight depot. Both the station and the freight house were originally built by the Charleston and Western Carolina Railway. The current station house was built around 1955 as a replacement for several other stations in the past. The station was later run by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. Yemassee was the first stop for eager recruits seeking to earn the title United States Marine before reaching Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island from 1915 to 1965. Many Marines that fought in wars and conflicts spanning WWI through Vietnam began their transformation at the train station. 〔http://www.marines.mil/Photos.aspx?igphoto=2000950986〕 ==Image gallery== File:Marine_with_recruits_at_Yemassee_Train_Station,_Date_Unknown.jpg|A U.S. Marine with recruits at Yemassee train station, date unknown.

Both trains pass through Yemassee, near the growing towns of Beaufort and Hilton Head, at roughly the same times of the day; the northbound ''Palmetto'' and southbound ''Silver Meteor'' do so in the morning, while the southbound ''Palmetto'' and northbound ''Silver Meteor'' come through in the evening. The town is in the process of purchasing the station from Amtrak as part of a local revitalization effort. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yemassee (Amtrak station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
