H.E. Holmes is an above-ground station in the MARTA rail system. This is the third busiest station in the MARTA system, handling an average of 22,000 boardings per weekday. When the station opened in 1979 it was originally named Hightower Station after Hightower Road but both the road and the station were later renamed to honor civil-rights hero Hamilton E. Holmes. The station serves areas near where I-20 crosses S.R. 280 east of Adamsville.
