Sandusky station is an Amtrak station in Sandusky, 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 former Railway 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 the Floridian and Lake 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.

History

The Sandusky station was originally built in 1892 by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway. It was designed by architects Shepley, Rutan & Coolidge and was also a work of A. Feick & Bros., and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. 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 the Iroquois and the Chicagoan's eastbound trip. Additionally, the Cleveland-Detroit Cleveland Mercury made a stop at Sandusky. Passenger services ended in 1971, but were reinstated on July 29, 1979 when Amtrak added it as a stop on the Lake Shore Limited. On November 10, 2024, the Capitol Limited was merged with the Silver Star as the Floridian.
