Sandusky station is anAmtrak station inSandusky, Ohio. Located at 1200 North Depot Street, the station consists of an uncovered platform on the north side of the east–west tracks, a small parking lot, and two buildings. The formerRailway Express Agency/baggage building is boarded up, while the main building has a small, remodeled waiting room for Amtrak passengers as well as offices for the Sandusky Transit System and North Central EMS. The station is served by theFloridian andLake Shore Limited routes, both of which pass through Sandusky in the middle of the night. Because the station has only one platform, eastbound trains switch to the usual westbound tracks to pass the station.
The Sandusky station was originally built in 1892 by theLake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway. It was designed by architectsShepley, Rutan & Coolidge and was also a work ofA. Feick & Bros., and was listed on theNational Register of Historic Places in 1975.[2] In the heyday of passenger train travel in the first six decades of the 20th century the station was a local stop, bypassed by most New York Central named trains on the Chicago-New York City circuit. Exceptions were theIroquois and theChicagoan's eastbound trip. Additionally, the Cleveland-DetroitCleveland Mercury made a stop at Sandusky.[3] Passenger services ended in 1971, but were reinstated on July 29, 1979 when Amtrak added it as a stop on theLake Shore Limited.[4] On November 10, 2024, theCapitol Limited was merged with theSilver Star as theFloridian.[5]
