MARTA police station at Lindbergh Center

Lindbergh Center station is in the southern section of Buckhead. This is the second busiest station in the MARTA system, handling an average of 23,400 boardings per weekday. It is important to the MARTA system for a number of reasons: first it is adjacent to their headquarters building, located just north of the Armour Yard Rail Services Facility (opened in 2005) which allows trains to come into service at a more central location than was previously possible and is at an important junction point for the future Belt Line.

Originally, the station consisted of a single island platform when opened in 1984. In 2002, a side platform was constructed on the northbound side of the station due to increased development in the area.

In the early 2000s, as part of the Lindbergh City Center project ^[1], two large office buildings, retail, restaurants and parking decks were constructed on MARTA owned land above the station and in 2005 ground was broken across Piedmont for a large new urbanist development. Exit to the north and at the second street, you will find the MARTA headquarters on Morosgo Drive, on the first floor is the MARTA Ridestore.
