Amtrak

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 café or shop there, but the station manager recommended a good little café nearby – if you go under the bridge north of the station, about two blocks up is the café (Sidekicks).

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.

Ok this is a big deal. To anyone who likes to travel and enjoys the great outdoors, you must take the Starlight Amtrak. Theres a stretch of beach a hundred miles long in between Santa Barbara and Paso Robles that is the most beautiful stretch of Cali coast and is inaccesible to cars. There are no roads for at least 20 miles to the east and there is absolutely no development on this stretch of land. The Amtrack is the only way to view it (unless u go to extreme measures)
Not kidding, I’ve seen a good deal of beaches in my life; Multiple islands in Hawaii, Nassau Bahamas, Outer Banks NC, Miami, Florida Keys, and all up and down the Cali coast. But this view is one of a kind. The cliffs drop 100 ft straight into the sea and the train tracks are right on the edge of the cliff. Must. Must. MUST see.
That is all

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

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.

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 café 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!

Nice small station.
