Location

Huntingdon station is an Amtrak railway station in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. The station is situated at the south end of the borough, along one of the major streets into Huntingdon (4th Street), just north of the Juniata River.

History

A freight train at the station in 1969

The station was originally built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1872, and shared service with the Huntingdon and Broad Top Mountain Railroad, which had a station across the tracks. The station house was closed by PRR in 1965, and is currently a local business.

A shack-like, but structurally sound building, it also contained a signal house, which for a time served as a rail museum but now houses the Huntingdon County Chamber of Commerce. Efforts to save the former H&BTM station failed when it was demolished in 2001.

Huntingdon is currently only served by Amtrak's Pennsylvanian, which operates once per day in each direction. Until 2005, Huntingdon was served by a second daily train, the Three Rivers (a replacement service for the legendary Broadway Limited), an extended version of the Pennsylvanian that terminated in Chicago.

Amtrak completed a $3.5 million renovation of the station in 2026. It included an accessible platform and a new brick shelter.
