The Amtrak station in Harpers Ferry consists of a platform with shelter adjacent to the historic wood-frame depot, which was designed in 1894 by architect E. Francis Baldwin for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O). Baldwin, a Baltimore resident, built 136 train stations and more than 500 other buildings during a 50-year career.
Throughout the years, the depot has been altered many times and moved from its original location overlooking the scenic confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers in 1931, as a part of a series of railroad improvements, and now sits on part of the old Armory foundations. See hours for the depot and other Lower Town buildings.
*Parking is extremely limited at this site. Please consider parking at the main entrance on 171 Shoreline Drive and riding the park shuttle bus to Lower Town.*

A concrete ramp from the southeast corner of the train station parking lot connects to the sidewalk on Potomac Street, right between the town of Harpers Ferry and the park's Lower Town buildings and exhibits.
