Location

Huntington station is an Amtrak station in Huntington, West Virginia served by the Cardinal route. Located at 1050 8th Avenue, the station consists of a platform on the south side of the east-west tracks, a small parking lot, and a small building containing a waiting room and space for a ticket office, though Amtrak pulled the station agent in the 21st century.

The station replaced a nearby historic Chesapeake and Ohio Railway building that is still in use as offices for its successor CSX Transportation.
