Alderson station is an Amtrak station in Alderson, West Virginia, served by the Cardinal. It is located at 1 C&O Plaza, and functions as a request stop. The station is a contributing property within the Alderson Historic District, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 12, 1993.[1]
The wood frame depot, originally built by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1896, is typical of a standard station built on the C&O system between 1890 and 1914. It features board and batten walls, decorative brackets, fancy stick work on the gable ends and deep eaves. The railroad enlarged the structure in 1924.[2]
Amtrak began serving the community on April 29, 1979.[3] Between December 4, 2001, and the second half of 2004, service to the station was suspended, partially due to painting that changed the station from white to orange. It was Amtrak's least used station in West Virginia in FY2022.[4]
