Lindbergh Center station is a ground-level rapid transit facility located in Atlanta, Georgia, providing service to the Red and Gold routes within the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail network. It caters to the Lindbergh/Morosgo area in southern Buckhead and functions as a partial terminus for the Red Line, as well as the last transfer station for both the Red (North Springs) and Gold (Doraville) lines. Notably, it is the sole station along this corridor continuously served by both lines. This station ranks as MARTA’s third most frequented, accommodating approximately 23,400 boardings on an average weekday.
Positioned conveniently next to MARTA’s headquarters and just north of the Armour Yard Rail Services Facility, which commenced operations in 2005, Lindbergh Center allows trains to enter active service from a central location. It also serves as a pivotal hub for upcoming developments such as the Belt Line and Clifton Corridor. The MARTA Reduced Fare Office is located on the headquarters’ first floor, facilitating commuter access to the surrounding Lindbergh Center commercial zone that includes retail outlets, dining options, and the iconic twin AT&T towers (previously BellSouth). The station also offers connections to Xpress bus lines serving Discover Mills and HighTech Institute, along with bus routes linking to destinations like Ansley Mall, Atlanta History Center, Emory University, Northlake Mall, Toco Hills Shopping Plaza, Georgia Department of Labor, and Dekalb-Peachtree Airport.
Heading south from Lindbergh Center, trains on both Red and Gold Lines enter a tunnel that leads to the subsequent underground subway station.
