Washington Station (Missouri)
Washington station is an Amtrak intercity train station in Washington, Missouri, United States. It is served by the Missouri River Runner.

History

The original station building in 2017

The brick station was designed for the Missouri Pacific Railroad by the railroad's Chief Engineer E. M. Tucker and built in 1923. The wooden depot built in 1865 which it replaced was moved and became the Missouri Pacific freight station. Both stations still stand.

On November 9, 2022, Amtrak announced that it would be investing $3 million to improve the station. The work will add a new 170-foot platform, new lighting and new signage to the station. The parking lot and the building will remain unchanged.
