Ridership
[ edit ] Amtrak train 51 arriving at Thurmond
It is one of Amtrak's least-busy stations, it was the second least-busy for fiscal year 2006, after Greenfield Village , Michigan , which was less traveled because it had been discontinued from the Amtrak regular schedule in April 2006 (being open only to groups after that point).[3] Sanderson , Texas .[4] [5]
In 2022, the Amtrak station in Thurmond, WV saw 399 passengers served, compared to 285 in 2018. [6] [7]
As of 2024, due to the low annual ridership in Thurmond, the station is unstaffed, there is no waiting room, and no in-person ticket booth or kiosk.[8]
History

The depot features a projecting bay that served as a signal tower . The interior originally possessed three waiting rooms: one for white men , one for white women, and one for African Americans .[9] Thurmond Historic District .[10]
