 The central spiral staircase was totally removed

Remodeled again in 1954, the station saw a major parking plaza erected with lights and canopy, and a circular drive that enabled people to drop passengers at the station.During the late 1960s train travel was greatly reduced and several areas of the station fell into disrepair.Finally, in 1971, passenger service was turned over to Amtrak, which operated the Burlington Station until February 1, 1974, moving to a more spartan station about directly to the east in 1983 after a period of time with a temporary station.
