As the state capital, Salem holds significance beyond politics. The Salem Amtrak station is modest but functional, serving both the Amtrak Cascades and Coast Starlight. Located just minutes from the Capitol building and downtown, it’s perfect for short trips and government-related travel.
Not far away is Albany Station, known for its restored historic charm. It offers service on the same routes and provides a peaceful boarding experience, away from the hustle and bustle of bigger cities. For those looking to enjoy the smaller towns and Oregon’s historic roots, these stops are absolute gems.
?? Chemult Station – The Gateway to Central Oregon Wilderness

in the Cascades, Chemult Station is the most remote of Oregon’s Amtrak stops. It’s a basic shelter-style station—unattended and without many services—but its location makes it a strategic hub for reaching Central Oregon destinations like Bend, Sunriver, and Crater Lake.
Chemult is especially popular in winter months with skiers and snowboarders, and in summer for outdoor adventurers. Because of its elevation, be prepared for colder weather and sparse amenities. It’s a no-frills station, but its location is invaluable for nature lovers.
