Nine MARC trains stop here on weekdays, ten on Friday evenings going northbound. There is a brick shelter, built in the 1800s on the northbound side which has a coffee shop and seating inside. Perfect for those cold mornings. There's also an Amtrak ticket kiosk if you need to purchase a one way or round trip ticket. Be careful because you have to cross the tracks to catch Southbound trains to DC. There is the Olde Towne parking garage across Summit Avenue which is easily accessible by a pedestrian bridge. The garage fills up pretty rapidly, if you want covered parking, it's best to arrive before 7:30 am, be careful not to park in spaces reserved for the apartment residents or city employees, you may get towed.

We managed to avoid a parking ticket. Parking here is $20 and it's valid for three days. That's not at all reasonable but it's a small town and busy with tourists who are willing to pay. We *just* missed a train coming through today. I don't know where they post the schedule. [Review 1034 of 2025 - 189 in West Virginia - 24588 overall]

A decent place during the day to see the trains as they pass by…read more The Harpers Ferry train station is a nice old building that adds to the character of the town. It is at the lower elevation and to the north of the town. When we visited, it was unattended and there were no staff inside. The restrooms were open and in decent shape, located on the west side of the building. It is a long building with 3-4 large rooms made of light wood with historical pictures on the walls. Parking is available in the lot that surrounds the station, though it depends on what is open at the time and how busy the area is. Many other visitors noted in their reviews that the building is not open at night and operates on a very limited schedule. A little research shows that Amtrak and MARC trains both serve this station. Throughout the day my party and I observed trains passing through without stopping, giving visitors a sense of how active the rail line still is. Overall, it is worth seeing for its historic look, but travelers should plan ahead since services are limited and the station may not be staffed. Up the hill to the south is the town and down the hill to the east visitors can view the Armory grounds, River overlook, and John Brown's fort.

I do like that there are Amtrak and more freight trains to see. Being an enthusiast, if you are into trains, this is good for us. The station area inside is a little cramped. My hope is they get rid of the old wooden benches. These make what's left of my back scream. There is a lot of good restaurants, along with entertainment venues within walking distance. Am a fan of VRE, so glad their trains are here. Some aren't a fan of the stations age, but I like it for sentimental reasons.

I finally pulled up after circling downtown Frederick for an hour in a maze of one way only streets and just pulled in where the taxis were allowed to wait. Waited forever there until finally a bus pulled up. Phew I thought. Finally! However the driver of bus blew his horn a good 30 ft behind me , so far that I didn't even know it was me he was blowing at and he refused to pull the bus in until I moved my car!
