== History == {{Expand section|date=January 2026|history of previous station buildings}} [[Image:Connellsville Pennsylvania Amtrak Station.jpg|thumb|left|The previous station in 2009]] The current station is the third station placed here. It was constructed during the winter of 2010-11 and cost $1.25 million.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/regional/fayette/s_620025.html |title=$1.25 M in stimulus funds will be used for Connellsville Train Station – Connellsville Daily Courier, 4/10/2009 (Retrieved: 5/8/2011) |access-date=2011-05-08 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120907040727/http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/regional/fayette/s_620025.html |archive-date=2012-09-07 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Built primarily of dark red brick, the structure has an enclosed, one-story waiting room with large windows. From the outside, the waiting room is marked by projecting bays whose surfaces are covered in a rock-faced, coursed ashlar in a light beige tone. Developed by d+A design+Architecture of [[Yardley, Pennsylvania]], the station design draws inspiration from historic late 19th and early 20th century depots found in small towns across the nation. It is similar to stations Amtrak has built in [[Okeechobee station (Amtrak)|Okeechobee, Florida]], [[Winnemucca station|Winnemucca, Nevada]] and [[Alliance station|Alliance, Ohio]]. In addition to the shelter, Amtrak installed a {{convert|550|ft|m|adj=on}} concrete [[side platform]], signage and light poles. The new station is in the vicinity of the former [[Baltimore and Ohio Railroad|Baltimore & Ohio Railroad]] station, which no longer stands.<ref name=great>{{cite web |url=https://www.greatamericanstations.com/stations/connellsville-pa-cov/ |title=Connellsville Station |publisher=Amtrak |work=Great American Stations }}</ref>
