Location

White Sulphur Springs station is a railway station in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, served by Amtrak, the national passenger railway. The station is a stop on Amtrak's Cardinal route.

The station was built in 1930 or 1931 by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) to serve passengers on the new Pullman rail coaches to The Greenbrier resort hotel.^[2] The current brick building replaced a wooden structure that was built in the early 1900s.^[2] It is directly across from the entrance to The Greenbrier grounds.

The original cottages that eventually expanded to a resort property known as the Old White Hotel, was purchased by C&O in 1910. The hotel was renovated and reopened in 1913 as the Greenbrier.^[2] The hotel became a showcase for the railroad company and it was promoted in C&O's timetables and literature.^[2] Tracks behind the station were used for parking business-owned and private cars of the wealthy patrons that came to the hotel.^[2] The hotel stayed in the hands of C&O and its successors, Chessie System and CSX, until 2009.

The former station building now serves as the hotel's own Christmas gift shop.^[3] The station's red-and-white "candy cane" paint job makes it unique among other Amtrak stations. Since the late 1980s/early 1990s, Amtrak passengers have used the adjacent covered platform.^[2] No Amtrak agent or station services (ticketing, checked baggage, etc.) are available at this station, not even a Quik-Trak kiosk; all tickets must be purchased in advance.
