This Amtrak station in Albany has improved over the years. I once had an elderly relative who'd be sent to wait for her train to Paso Robles under a bare, lone tree out on an unpaved path. There is now a paved walkway&lighting. Unlike the Portland station, there aren't snacks or souvenirs. I've seen fancier bus stations (Evans out of Napa to Oakland&SFO offers complimentary coffee, snack machines, restrooms- even the news) Back in the day, this was little more than a sad-looking shack/ticketing booth. It was downright depressing, and in Oregon's often inclement weather, not a place where you'd want to wait outside. Thankfully, they've upgraded over the years. read more

GETTING HERE: (Traveling); Located at 110 SW 10th Avenue in Albany, Oregon. MOOD: On the road again! Long train trip upcoming; a bit cautious of the road (tracks) ahead. REVIEW: ** This review is for the Amtrak Station - Albany (ALY). The station is very small inside with brochures of Oregon and surrounding things to do in the area. There's a small vending machine with drinks and snacks; there is a restroom but the woman behind the glass must "buzz" you in. The same staff member was working both times and she was not helpful or personable. Ruined the experience for my guest and I. While we were waiting for our train she was playing on her cell phone at her desk. 0 professionalism or even basic customer service. On our next visit I hope Amtrak has another employee on shift. Customer service is a lost art. :( read more

First train ride into Portland from Albany train station. Train arrived on schedule with about 5 or so minutes to board. The conductor was very friendly. The onboard staff at the food bar was friendly and nice selection. We sat in business for the legroom and enjoyed the air-conditioning and views. The train station had ample indoor seating and clean restrooms as well as friendly staff. A nice way to travel. read more

The lady working the counter today (10/25/2024) was absolutely amazing! Not only did she handle a full train breaking down by getting most people a new ticket or other method of transportation, but she also accommodated a full university band. I've actually seen less people at the Portland station, which employees dozens of people. This lady did it all by herself! She deserves a raise and a promotion! read more

Power-tripping attendant Amanda ruined the experience. Otherwise the trip was quite enjoyable.

I'm was quite disappointed on this Train trip. It smelled really bad the whole trip from L.A to Washington. The A.C didn't work that well in the last cabin of the train so it was at least 10-15 degrees hotter then it was on the rest of the train. This was thee worst trip I have ever taken in my life. I do not recommend anyone taking the train anywhere. The only upside to the trip was coastal views of the ocean. I'm dreading our trip home next week since we already booked the train, I'm almosted tempted to pay the extra money and take a plane. I do have to say that the staff was great. read more

I have been in and out of this station on both the train and bus. Every occasion the system was right on time and efficient. This station is neat and clean and new in appearance. Small cafe area, bathrooms and abundant free parking. Also they have bike storage containers which are really cool. The bus was big and clean and neat as well. Although the train is cooler the bus was nice. Also, the bus has electrical plug-ins for charging devices...just raised my review to a full 5 stars! read more

Many of the electrical outlets did not work despite being advertised as a feature. When I asked staff member "Sharon" she was rude and unconcerned and not willing to reseat me where an electric outlet works. Amtrak really needs to do something about its lazy staff. Opposed to them performing periodically cleanings of train pre passenger boarding and during the trips the staff is asking the passengers to clean the areas opposed to coming around with trash bags to gather the trash from the passengers throughout the trip. Instead they were on their cells phones or napping. In addition, during our trip a physical fight almost broke out between two adult male passengers in which the verbal exchange lasted approximately 20 minutes with no intervention from the staff. It appears as they were reluctant or afraid to intervene thus putting passenger's safety at risk. This could have been a very dangerous situation if the altercation had escalated to violence where there many small children present. The Train# was 14 from Sacramento to Portland PDX. Someone needs to address the staff about this. read more

Does anyone know if there is a food vendor inside for a quick grab and go meal? Like if you had only 10 minutes to get something.

Nice small station that has been recently renovated. Easy to catch the train and start an adventure to wherever you're going! read more

Amtrak - Train Stations Near Me - Albany, Oregon

I'm honestly frustrated. My train was supposed to arrive around 6:20AM.... The doors into the building don't even open up until 8AM. Makes zero sense huh? I get there. My train never arrives. I'm sitting out in the freezing cold for an hour waiting for my train to come... NOTHING. Not only am I freezing my ass off but I spent money on a ticket that is useless and I won't get the money back, AND I then had to spend MORE money to uber all the way back to where I came from. I tried looking for a number but there isn't one, only email. I love wasting my money!!!!!!!! read more

They no longer accept federal reserve notes. You guys are a joke. 32 hour train ride and I have to wait till I'm more than 28 hours done with. JUST TO EAT. never booking or recommending. 0 stars would be just for you if they added it. read more

I don't ride Amtrak very often, but when I do it is amazing and I'm happy there is a station in the Albany-Corvallis area. There is a large parking lot for cars (yes, I've left my car for multiple days and I always feel good that nothing will happen to it) while I am gone. Although I never sit in the station - I've been inside once or twice. It is small and quaint but accommodating to the passengers. The downfall is that if you catch the 6:15 am train from Corvallis, heading North to PDX, the station is not open -- so you either wait in your car or outside. read more

The service it's self is nice and u get to see a lot of cool country. The staff are so rude though I would rather just drive next time. Maybe it was just that staff from salem to seattle .But they were pretty rude on the way back too. Hopefully I never have to ride amtrak again. read more

I'm down to Albany/Corvallis about three or four times a year for work, and this station is simple to get in and out of. Directly 15 minutes to OSU, plenty of parking, and covered and A/C options for days with inclement weather. There's no cafe or shop there, but the station manager recommended a good little cafe nearby--if you go under the bridge north of the station, about two blocks up is the cafe (Sidekicks). read more

The station is convenient and there is plenty of parking. The schedule seems to be pretty dependable and timing is pretty good, The only issue is that if you travel early in the day, before the station opens, you may be sitting out in the rain and cold with no facilities available. Our family loves traveling by train! read more
